The Hottest and the Largest

Whilst we have a few nights in civilisation with good internet access, its a great chance to post a couple more images. First here from yesterday is a surprising find in the hottest place on earth - Death Valley National Park. Darwin Falls is around 20 feet high and is spring fed, and a really lovely spot in amongst the arid landscape.
And from today, we visited Sequoia National Park and viewed the biggest tree in the world - the General Sherman Sequoiadendron. Its hard to comprehend the size of this tree...its not the tallest tree in the world (thats for later in the trip), however it is the largest by volume.....its around 275 feet high, and over 100 feet diameter at the base. Nice conditions for shooting tall trees, too!
