Description

This wide shot captures a family exploring a redwood forest. A child stands near the base of a massive redwood tree that has a hollow opening. An adult male, wearing a backpack, reaches out towards the child. Two adult females stand near the base of a second, very large redwood tree. The forest floor is covered in green foliage and a dirt path winds through the trees. Sunlight filters through the canopy, creating dappled lighting on the forest floor and the trunks of the trees. The colors are predominantly earth tones, with the red-brown of the redwoods contrasting with the green of the foliage.
