I was looking through some old vacation pictures and came across this one. It sure gives a perspective on how big these trees are.

God... I hope they build the 8th wonder of the world, or the biggest homeless shelter, or a palace orphanage with this tree. Please don't tell me, it is some stupid statue or a salon furniture ensemble with this...

Even worse. Many of our ancient forests were cut into boards for personal profit.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
