Sunlight Through Sequoias - a photo on Flickriver

            Walking through Yosemite's Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, just after completion of the conservation/construction project that has kept the grove closed for the past couple of years.  One of the most interesting trees in the grove, the Clothespin Tree, has survived numerous fires which have naturally hollowed a tunnel through the base of the trunk. There are a few trees in the Mariposa Grove that have tunnels running through their trunks, but the Clothespin Tree's tunnel is unique in that it stands a full 40 feet in height. While the base of the tunnel is wide enough to drive a vehicle through, the tunnel has never been used for that purpose. The tunnel is so tall and wide that the trunk has been extremely weakened and many park officials are worried that a dense snowfall could spell disaster for this remarkable giant.
