I was reading that very issue of Nat Geo today! There's a big fold-out of that photo, it's very impressive!

why are you mentioning inland Giant Sequoia's?

I posted a link above to "Coast Redwood" which redirects to "Sequoia". Not sure if it was right or wrong, but the page states that the Sequoia is known as the California Redwood, which is what National Geographic referred to in its article.

The Coastal/California Coast Redwood is known as Sequoia semperviren which is indeed part of the Cupressaceae family, the same family as inland Redwoods known as Giant Sequoia/Sierra Redwood [Sequoiadendron giganteum]. Either way both species of tree grow over 300' and both have been known to age past 2000 years. At least this is what most, if not all, reliable sources report.

379.1-foot tree is the Tallest known Redwood Tree in the world. And researchers aren't saying exactly where it's located.

Geez, this thread got ugly, over a beautiful tree.

A ban request has already been sent to the moderator. And let me quickly use the HIDE ME button before Opportunity get's her panties in a bunch and starts talking nonsense again.

Congrats Opportunity. I hope you and Canonical have a happy life together!

Somebody left the door open at the local nut house and a lumberjack escaped.

I can't tell. I only realized yesterday how similar the 35L and 24L looked.

I'm looking at the pictures and it appears that one set of 3 pocket wizards are attached to the PC port and the other set of 3 pocket wizards are attached to the cable release port.

Though, I didn't see any flashes, so I cannot tell what the purpose of the PWs attached to the PC port is. My guess is that there may have been more rigging beyond the two photos shown in the movie.
