mehquig? wait-a-minnit... do you have a computer-nerd brother, techuig? Know a mariner named deckuig? A bodybuilder named pecuig? A tow-truck driver named wreckuig?
The music is "Elizabethan Serenade" by Binge. I also heard it a lot while growing up. I think it was the theme song for some classical music radio show that would play on weekends and it was on every week at our house for several years...
Thank you! It's altogether possible that it was something my father had playing on the radio, as he was a classical music aficionado, not that I appreciated it when I was a kid of course! That music always makes me smile...you can almost see the wee folk dancing among the trees.
Thanks! I had a thought when I was down in the redwoods earlier this year: The trees were seedlings when Khufu was having the site for his pyramid surveyed...
Beautiful stills and video!! Please excuse lame question(s) from a desert rat - but - How do you tell the age of a forest? Are there sections of Canadian forests that have not been explored?
I'm sure all the forests in Canada have been explored to some extent, but there are probably some exact spots where no one has ever stood...
Forests generally start after the last one fell victim to a fire. There's a huge hollow burnt-out stump of an ancient tree in this video from an earlier forest that burned down long ago...
The age of a forest can be told by the kinds of trees that are in it. A young forest will have trees in it that need a lot of light to grow, and that grow fast...
The next tree species to come along need less light, grow more slowly and start growing in the shade of the earlier trees in the forest, and so on...
Eventually, after hundreds of years the forest reaches a climax, and is inhabited by slower-growing trees that need less light and produce harder wood. An old growth forest is one where the climax tree species has had a chance to grow very slowly and large over thousands of years.
The redwoods in California are a good example of old growth...
Very artistic , natures art gallery.
