PUNCHMAGAZINE.COM 33 PERFECT SHOT foggy forest The mighty redwoods of Big Basin can evoke all kinds of reactions. Awe at their primeval enormity, delight in their verdant beauty and inspiration from their resilience. Photographer Frances Freyberg was out hiking with friends in the state park when this ethereal scene caught her eye. “Big Basin was always a favorite of my local open spaces because of its beautiful trails through old-growth redwood forest, along creeks and waterfalls, all the way out to the ocean.” While the CZU wildfire devastated much of the park’s manmade infrastructure in 2020, most of its redwoods endured, a testament to the resilience of California’s iconic state tree.
