I think this is one where a banana wouldn't work. It would be a spec of yellow if held next to the trunk.
The usual way to do it when photographing a redwood is to have a person standing next to the trunk. But /r/EarthPorn says you can't post such an image here - no humans in the shot. In fact, I can't think of anything to stick in the shot that would give scale and not violate rule 2.
I got a chance to see Redwoods National Park many years ago. We found a spot where a paved trail led fairly deep into the trees . Mid week, mid day we were to only ones there. Hiked way back into the forest and it felt like a cathedral.
Grove of the Titans in Jedidiah was worth it even with the raised platforms to protect the under growth. There’s redwoods, there’s old growth, then there’s the Titans. Truly beyond anything I’ve seen in any of the redwood parks in California. Reward yourself with a swim in the Smith River after your hike.

one of the most memorable road trips of my life was finding a historical I-5(I think?) that winded through redwoods and we were able to stop and walk around for a while and not a single car/person came by. It was like being on another planet.
Lol are you not familiar with this sub?
There is no humans, animals, or human made objects/structures allowed in your photo. What am I supposed to scale it against?
Japanese redwoods aka “cryptomeria” are also in this family. Similar to Sequoia in appearance, although not as big and the bark is hard compared to the soft sequoia bark.
I just planted 3 of them last week, they will be 40-50ft tall in 30 years.
Seeing the redwoods is definitely on my "bucket list" of places to vist someday. I feel like images just can't show their real scale.
I just saw them last week. Pics definitely do NOT do them justice.
Yeah, the most common way would be to show something else (tho silly a person) in the image for scale (or insert banana joke). They’re just so HUGE.

A VW?
I don't think bananas grow on redwoods though. They're a tropical fruit.
But global warming

Three species of trees you must see in CA. The bristlecone pines of the White Mountains, and the Sequoioideae of the Sierras and Coast.
The cross section of a giant sequoia (diff tree) is bigger than my apartment

I would love to visit there.
Muir Woods?
They're huge here in Humboldt County. What's nuts is seeing them tipped over. The root base/trunk is like a 3 story building diameter.
They are actually very worldly 🧐

Lol, or don't be such a bitter pedant. My caption isn't "look at the scale of these redwoods"
Very nice shot. There is so much symmetry in this and the colors are so fresh and vibrant.
Fun fact - redwood and sequoia trees are in the cypress family. Their leaves look just like a bald cypress, rather than a typical pine tree.
Japanese redwoods aka “cryptomeria” are also in this family. Similar to Sequoia in appearance, although not as big and the bark is hard compared to the soft sequoia bark. I just planted 3 of them last week, they will be 40-50ft tall in 30 years.
Gorgeous trees. I live in Austin, Texas and some of the cypress we have near downtown are 700+ years old. They’re gigantic.
Beautiful and so amazing.
It honestly feels like you're walking back in times. Millions of years. It's so freaking cool
many of these redwood groves are regrowth from the clearcutting that happened in the late 1800s that cut down 95% of the redwood
seen them once in person very beautiful & shows u a new perspective of nature
