I thought people might enjoy looking at photos of California's Sequoia Trees. Most of the groves are just to the south of Yosemite National Park.
Sequoia's are "first cousins" to the Redwood Trees. The Sequoia's are much "fatter" than Redwoods, but not quite as tall. The trees you see in the photos were alive, and 1,500 years old, before Christ was even born. Which means they are 3,500 years old.
You will note the black scars on the trees. Those scars are the result of an ancient forest fire, hundreds of years ago.
I can't speak for anyone else , but these trees put me in my place and gives me the proper perspective on what time is all about.

We had giant yellow wood trees in SA, but not quite as big as those,
But big enough to make you think ??
