DP Theme Day: Big
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Today is the September 1st City Daily Photo theme day. I thought about what to post for today’s theme day for most of August, but wasn’t really getting anywhere. Stayton’s a small town, and there’s not much here one might call “big.” That is, until I looked out the window a couple of days ago and looked up at some rather big Douglas-Fir trees. Figures the answer was literally right there all along.
I don’t know if I conveyed the theme very well with my photo, but I gave it a shot. This is looking straight up a Douglas-Fir. I don’t know how tall the trees around here run… Wikipedia estimates them at about 60–75 metres (200–250 ft) or more in height. Not bad. You’ll forgive me if I don’t climb one of the trees with a tape measure to verify that claim.

Well ’snap’ I posted a tree on Menton too – a 2000 year old olive. I love your fir.
Oh wow. It’s big, alright, and gorgeous!
Big enough, nice angle and great photo.
Great perspective .. I’m not offering the measure it either. Happy theme day.
The trees of Oregon are almost all “big” and absolutely lovely. It is hard to convey their sheer size in photos, isn’t it? I tried to capture their size in our Silver Falls daytrip photos, but it just isn’t the same as standing beneath those giant trees…
I think it’s a great shot.
massive and yet light and airy. nice job.
How lovely to look up at something so big.
