The tallest reaches 115,61 m (second floor of Eiffel tower) and is named Hyperion; With that high stature they attract lightening during storms and burn in their heart; The heat produced is necessary to make their thick seeds explode and assure the regeneration impossible other way!

USA California Calaveras Big Trees State Park.

A place of great beauty and serenity that we loved so much relaxing in comfortable arm chairs of the heated Fairmont hotel long corridor of observation;

Pierre relaxing marvelled by the lake colors and the many goldenbuttons outside.
