One of the best road trips I did over the last few years was to go see those trees. The Granby Oak is so beautiful and photographs very easily! An excellent subject, there are so many ways to shoot that tree. I had a harder time trying to capture the Pinchot, it is so damn big! I really feel that no photo does that tree justice.
