In a fairy ring, make a wish by PeterThoeny We recently have extended rain, and we need it. I drove from the Silicon Valley to La Honda, located on the peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area. The hilly area is full of redwoods. I went to see a friend in La Honda. Next to his house is a perfect redwood tree circle, also called fairy ring. Redwoods grow more successfully from sprouts that form around the base of a tree, utilizing the nutrients and root system of a mature tree. When the parent tree dies, a new generation of trees rise, creating a fairy ring. I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a smooth HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments. Thank you for visiting - ♡ with gratitude!
