When I see such trees- I always try to imagine North America before the Euros shows up. Just imagine a virgin continent with billions of giant/ancient trees, vast numbers of wildlife, clean air and clean water and humans living in harmony with it- to me, that's the highest point of human evolution- since then it's been all downhill.
