I giganti buoni, i giganti saggi!Quante cose avrebbero da dire!Nick ha fatto un lavoro che rende onore almeno a uno di essi!
Beautiful Thank.
It is the tree of knowledge planted that for some time the roots grow underneath and hold the earth while in time the leaves shade you from intense sun and the fruit that comes perhaps will nourish you. With this tree, it is nothing I woud use to sell consumer goods. Sad but when I was a kid our local grocers who had served in WWII and she and he had been married a long time, and she helped my mom before I was 5 years of age through a third degree burn on the right ankle from an accident where my brother and I found some used birthday cake candles and lit them looking for mice in the closet back before the flame retardant pojomos for kids wre banned for good. Well, as you might expect my pjs caught fire and I went running through the house screaming with mom running behind me and finally caught me and her hands had 2nd degree burns from putting out my skins which was on fire with rubber burning down to the bones. Sometimes you have to stick in facts when you are writing metafiction. I did so to make a point. Obstacle avoidance is safety and Boeing has a good tour of their interests in mankind and that brother of mine who did nothing ever to harm anyone was with me that day and we never went hunting for anything ever again. Oh that was a good memory but am glad that those horrible times when being so very young, you just don't know which way is up and whether your dreams are true or not. As I mentioned before, when making fun it will be about me and not making fun of others.
Just to note, my mothers good friend who was a nurse in WWII and our local grocer, well one of the two couples or more, it does not matter as we all were of a small community and appreciated what we did have. She helped mom and helped her to take care of herself for awhile as she helped with the dressing on my right ankle as we had a nicely stained old time picnic table serving as our place to have a family meal for 8 of us including mom and dad. Well, that table served for a certain time, for me to get over the shock and moms friend LiL, helped a great deal many people said when I grew older with special care for a bad burn on a small kid. The story about the 2nd largest tree for some reason pops up neuron strikes in my brain and who knows why? I just felt a fun streak in telling a story as opposed to this quip stuff or pasting copies of things as it is sometimes better to tell a little story and have the reader take it from there and 'use as you see fit'. I am feeling a natural strength to keep the head up as a friend passed today and I am doing as was suggested earlier if anything happened. There is great respect for those we knew and who are no longer with us as certain things do come to mind at the right time and the right place whereby I enjoy writing and the story conveyed to you is true and shows compassion for two people who helped me and were very important people in my life.
Magnifica
That may be one of the most beautiful things I've seen! Gorgeous Trees, May they stand another 3,000 thousand years!!
imagine if trees can talk and tell about the stories before us.
I can talk to trees. Sign me up!😀
*They would tell us without us was better!*
Hmmm they would probably sing:
We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!
We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-runa runa runa rom!
To Isengard! Though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of stone;
Though Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone,
We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door;
For bole and bough are burning now, the furnace roars - we go to war!
To land of gloom with tramp of doom, with roll of drum, we come, we come;
To Isengard with doom we come!
With doom we come, with doom we come!

@@prioritalpanic629 When they start talking back see a doctor.
In about 1966, National geographic did a piece on the tallest Redwood. At that time it was 367 feet. I cannot recall it's trunk diameter. I've seen Redwoods up close, they are magnificent. Even saw the General Sherman tree. I believe that's the one with the tunnel carved out of the trunk. Would love to see them again someday.
No the gen Sherman does not have a tunnel thru it
@@darrellgroce4251 You are correct. It's been over fifty years since I visited California and drove through the tree.
Imagine a day sometime in old egypt, the old advanced civilisation, that's when this tree began to grow. Incredible!
i love it.........could stare forever!!!
Was für ein schöner Baum!
I just planted two of these in Belgrade,hoping that after 2000 years somebody is going to do same thing.
+dalibor dimic Good for you ! I have a redwood that is 80' tall after only 27 years in the ground. Next one plant atop a rock in the planting hole and the tree with grow faster. I have proven this to work.
@@jamesbryan1644 so how are the tree's doing? I think of planting some myself, I,m 25 right now how tall do you think they will get till I close my eyes for good?
nah
God's creation never stops to amaze me. Fascinating tree!
Exceptional! I never knew sawmilling could be so interesting. It's amazing to see such skill in action. The video is of superb quality. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Continue sharing these amazing videos!
Majestic trees! Especially in snow.
I feel Blessed to have such a beautiful place to live.
callifornia ?? right
Sequoias are my favorite
Related: NatGeo is also my favorite
Discover magazine is to science as this is to nature. There both amazing!
I am here. Stay in Comfort Inn hotel. Eating in pizza factory, looking at big tree in giant forest. Excellent !!!
We have such beautiful natural wonders in our world
Amazing!!
*The giant sequoia (called "The President") is an astonishing 3,200 years old! It rises 247 feet from the ground, is 27 feet in diameter and has 2 billion leaves!*
amazing!
That would be a really cool poster or the facade of a tall building covered with the stunning photo

Beautiful planet,amazing giant tree.

Simply amazing! Very beautiful.
Incredible story...
It's a Fab for whole world
So beautiful 🥺😣
¡Increible! y sigue creciendo a razón de 1 m3 al año.
Wow this National park is really beautiful... Had seen it long time ago
Woow tak to je prostě neskutečný. Jako věděl jsem, že jsou na planetě velký stromy, ale až takhle??? To ty naše smrky vedle tohoto vypadaj neskutečně směšně :-D
Absolutamente hermoso y extraordinario
This tree was seeded around the time of the fall of Troy, when civilizations were fighting with swords and arrows, before the great Greek philosophers were even born!
Magnifica!!
The Secret of Mana. Thumbs up.
Parabéns aos fotógrafos , belo trabalho !!
awesome! But...either the man on top of the tree is like double the size of the man on the bottom, or there was still some form of distortion
A wonder!
Amazing....
UM VERDADEIRO SHOW, LINDÍSSIMO!!!
In California right? If so I too have been there and hugged said tree
Wow! That is amazing!
How is there leaves on a tree that bears pine needles?
+P Lane That's exactly what I thought when I read "leaves" lol
These needles are "leaves" in biology.
It's a cypress tree not pine.
Magnificent!
I feel bad for the guy whose task it was to count those leaves ;)
its not only one guy, alot of them who worked hard on this tree, to take enough resources out of it.
sum Ting wong Gee...really? Thanks for clearing that up, guy!
That could make a lot of nice furniture.
The place made me think about Narnia.
Hermoso
Impressive ... ! but why not in summer ?
Jst awesome!!
i have the same one in my backyard
Imgonnacry too!
Czy Stihl produkuje tak długą prowadnicę, aby wyciąć to drzewo? :)
Great shots, really beautifull! I was wandering how are the atacams faring there, are they happy about what is going on there? have you made any contact with them yet? Thanks :-)
That's the second biggest tree I've ever seen.
Humans thinking, "How can we chop it down and make some worthless furniture, so we can sit on it and fart all day"
people watching this in lockdown
i translate: 27 feet = 8.23 m
247 feet = 75 meters high.
Someone do a size comparison with a skyscraper!
I can vision building a city made from this trees, but not in my life time...
Treerude - Snowstorm
Through Him ( the Lord Jesus Christ) all things were made.
And without Him was there not anything made that was made.

زیباترین عکسی امروز.. برای تهیه این عکس یک گروه عکاسی , 32 روز وقت صرف کرده اند . درخت سکویای غول پیکر . برای اینکه این عکس تهیه شود 126 عکس جدا ازهم تهیه و بعد به همدیگر متصل شده است . طول این درخت 75 متر و قطر آن 8 متراست .درختی که 3200 سال عمر دارد و دارای دو میلیارد برگ است . این درخت در زمان کوروش هخامنشی , 700 سال عمر داشته است . دو نقطه قرمز در پایین درخت و یکی هم در بالای درخت میبینید. آنها اعضای گروه عکاسی هستند. اگر بخواهید به عظمت این درخت بیشتر پی ببرید و از زیبائی آن بیشتر لذت ببرید, آنرا داونلود کنید و روی صفحه کامپیوتر خود بزرگنمائی آنرا بیشتر کنید.
فیلم آنرا هم اینجا ببینید. Magnificent Giant Tree: Sequoia in a Snowstorm
I successfully climbed that tree with no grappling hook.
finger DOWN for the "storm"......
some serious wood
Sequoias live easily on the east coast. I have twenty, one is 70' tall after 20 years in the ground. The s.sempervirens does better in the south (a big one in Abbyville S.C.) say Virginia south and the s.giganteum better in the north.( A big boy in Mass.). Get young trees from Jonsteen company.
Grandpa Tree 🌳
And to think this entire planet was once covered mostly with huge trees similar to this - mankind has sure destroyed everything that gives life..!
2 billion leaves? Who counted them? :P
my God someone makes a comment and says leaves instead of needles and then look what happens because you all have nothing better to do. leaves and needles with contain chlorophyll they both do the same thing for the tree just different names
"Leaves" aka needles.
Achievement Unlocked: Getting Wood.
They even counted leaves
To drzewo-Sekwoja jest jak z pieknej bajki
Dónde esta este árbol?
And now they gonna fuck this up
is there any pandorium underneath it?
Look man,the impression i got with your comment,is that the Americans do not care much for the ecological balance...i expect that to change even for the same well of you...
que maravilha! leiam sobre esta sequoia q é a maior árvore do mundo com 3.200 anos de vida! misteriosdomundo.com/essa-arvore-de-3-200-anos-e-tao-grande-que-nunca-havia-sido-registrada-em-uma-unica-foto
big tree
Earth aka desert in the process
It boggles the mind to think this tree was alive when Rameses ll ruled Egypt!
bubhub64 Yep indeed. While looking the tree you can think that some ancient Egyptian boatbuilder might have looked at the very same tree and thinking if that would be a good material for his boat. Luckily he decided it wasn't!
Not only that, but this tree was there for almost every major historical event, that we know of :D
@@ArnoldSig He might have deemed it useful had he ever seen it. These trees have been restricted to a tiny piece of the Sierra range in California since Humanity first stepped out of Africa. Of course at that time the Americas were inhabited, but assuming the locals even wanted to make some sort of giant dugout ship, the real restriction isn’t the quality of the wood, it’s the impracticality of getting such a log out of the mountains and into a body of water worth building such a ship for.
27 = 8.2296 meters and 247 = 75.2856 meters.
It's for rest of the world.
A scientific report should use ISO at all :-(
We have in Kalimantan, Indonesia, it's about 9 meters in diameter.
That tree is older than most known human civilizations. That's what impresses me so tremendously. I truly hope it gets to stand another 3200 years and that there will still be people to admire it's awe inspiring presence.
Liking your 8 year old comment. So u can re-watch this majestic tree. Thank me later
My daughter wants you to know "this is really cool!"
the largest tree in the world? ... 3200 years old .....can we keep it as a monument to time?
This video left us with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the beauty God has given us on this planet, and reminded us of what an amazing creator we have.
Amen.
Who counted the leaves?
LoL :)
I believe it's not the count of leaves. but how much leave has it produced in his lifetime. there is no way 2B leaves is in there sticking on that tree right now.
lol
Estimate can go wrong
I was wondering the same thing. I think they must have counted a small square area with the number of leaves and multiplied from there by height and width! Good question.
Amazing!
SUBHANALLAH
~8,5 meters in diaMETER
~76 meters tall
Chuck Norris planted this tree in his childhood.
chuck norris took a shit while hiking to canada for beer
marajlize legaljuana
"took a shit"!!!!? Where did he take it and why? Never thought Chuck would be into scat.
😂😂😂
The tree in Avatar was bigger.
Lol
And you'll also recall what happened to it ...
LOL😭
Nope
Des milliers et des Milliers d'années avant que nous venions au monde, il était là, et il sera là longtemps, longtemps après que nous ayons disparus...Grande leçon d'humilité effectivement, ce Séquoia est tout simplement majestueux, quelle émotion que de le regarder :-)))
It's the tree of life. Don't touch it!
Get a drone and record this in a morning?
at that resolution ?
good luck
@Arda Balkan even the best camera can't get that resolution, it's impossible
Raw video at high fps maybe would get something sort of close, but that camera would weigh a lot and still not the same
incredible
The beauty and splendor of our world, and look what we (humans) have done to it................
Caper42 , thank-you for liking my response, but I'm just stating what's in my heart.....(smile)
