N20140911-0028—Sequoia sempervirens—RPBG

Sequoia sempervirens. Seventy-five years old and hardly more than saplings despite their great size. These redwoods will be approaching maturity when Starfleet Academy is founded in 2161, as I have said on other occasions. They may live another thousand years after that. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
