Hidden giants: how the UK's 500,000 redwoods put California in the shade
Researchers found that the Victorians brought so many seeds and saplings to Britain that experts say the giant redwoods now outnumber those in their US homeland.
Three giant redwoods tower over Wakehurst's Elizabethan mansion like skyscrapers. Yet at 40 metres (131ft) high, these are almost saplings Ð not even 150 years old and already almost twice as high as Cleopatra's Needle.

'This is not how sequoias die. It’s supposed to stand for another 500 years'. Twenty-eight giant sequoias have died from an interaction between bark beetles, drought stress and fire since 2014, according to a joint National Park Service and US Geological
'This is not how sequoias die. It’s supposed to stand for another 500 years'. Twenty-eight giant sequoias have died from an interaction between bark beetles, drought stress and fire since 2014, according to a joint National Park Service and US Geological Survey study to be published later this year. Giant sequoias were thought to be immune to insects, drought and wildfires. Then the unthinkable happened: trees started to die – and scientists began the search for answers.
The fable of the giant sequoia tree is an enduring tale of America’s fortitude. Standing quietly on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada, the Californian giants can survive almost anything – fire, disease, insect attack, cold years, hot years, drought – so the story goes. The largest living organisms on the planet can grow over 90 metres (300ft) tall. When they do die after 3,000 years or so, the oldest trees, known as monarchs, usually succumb to their own size and collapse. Their giant trunks will rest on the forest floor for another millennium. But the miraculous story of the near-indestructible giant trees that millions of Americans tell their children is no longer true. Pictured: Christy Bingham - Chief of Resources Management and Science

Inside the structure, which is fixed to the trees from eight different points, there is space enough for a double bed or two singles, perched under a glass ceiling surrounded by petal like apertures. it hangs above a mini bathroom which includes a hot shower, composting toilet and a sink.

(Pic 5) A night heron takes off with its dinner, a duckling that has wandered too far from its mother. The duckling and another startled duck make eye contact.
Night Heron Snatches Duckling For Dinner
These shocking images show nature at its worst.
A night heron is pictured taking off with a duckling that has swum too far away from its mother.
As the heron flies off with his dinner, eye contact is made between the mother duck and her duckling who is struggling to get away.
Wildlife photographer Michael Yang was taking his wife out to spot some cute wildlife at Radio Road in California to cheer her up after being ill for a few days.
He said: "We were hoping to find some baby avocets, stilts, or ducklings and were both really happy to see several families of ducklings following their mothers around the pond.
"As we were watching the ducklings a night heron flew in, which are not uncommon in the area but what we did not expect to see was the night heron land near a duckling that had wandered a little too far from its mother and snatch it from the water."
The duckling tried to dive under water to escape the night heron; unfortunately it didn't get deep enough and the heron pulled it out of the water, grabbing the duckling by a foot.
It took off with its dinner all the while the duckling was being flung about like a rag doll in the heron's beak.
Michael said: "At some point in all this my wife had turned away and started sobbing. It didn't help that, through all this, I was taking pictures of the "event" and not comforting her instead."
The popular birding location in Northern California is home to a variety of birds including shorebirds, herons, egrets, terns, and ducks. It is a series of wastewater treatment pon...

(Pic 3) A night heron lands and plucks its dinner from the water, a duckling that has wandered too far from its mother. The duckling tried to dive underwater, but was not fast enough. A startled American Avocet in the foreground begins to take off.
Night Heron Snatches Duckling For Dinner
These shocking images show nature at its worst.
A night heron is pictured taking off with a duckling that has swum too far away from its mother.
As the heron flies off with his dinner, eye contact is made between the mother duck and her duckling who is struggling to get away.
Wildlife photographer Michael Yang was taking his wife out to spot some cute wildlife at Radio Road in California to cheer her up after being ill for a few days.
He said: "We were hoping to find some baby avocets, stilts, or ducklings and were both really happy to see several families of ducklings following their mothers around the pond.
"As we were watching the ducklings a night heron flew in, which are not uncommon in the area but what we did not expect to see was the night heron land near a duckling that had wandered a little too far from its mother and snatch it from the water."
The duckling tried to dive under water to escape the night heron; unfortunately it didn't get deep enough and the heron pulled it out of the water, grabbing the duckling by a foot.
It took off with its dinner all the while the duckling was being flung about like a rag doll in the heron's beak.

The Quirky Welsh Town of Portmeirion
July 7, 2007, Porthmadog, Gwynedd, Wales: Portmeirion, in North Wales, is a resort, where no one has ever lived. A self-taught Welsh architect named Sir Clough Williams-Ellis built it out of architectural salvage between the 1920s and 1970s, loosely based on his memories of trips to Portofino. Including a pagoda-shaped Chinoiserie gazebo, some Gothic obelisks, eucalyptus groves, a crenellated castle, a Mediterranean bell tower, a Jacobean town hall, and an Art Deco cylindrical watchtower. He kept improving Portmeirion until his death in 1978, age 94. It faces an estuary where at low tide one can walk across the sands and look out to sea. At high tide, the sea is lapping onto the shores. Every building in the village is either a shop, restaurant, hotel or self-catering accomodation. The village is booked out at high season, with numerous wedding receptions at the weekends. Very popular amongst the English and Welsh holidaymakers. Many who return to the same abode season after season. Hundreds of tourists visit every day, walking around the ornamental gardens, cobblestone paths, and shopping, eating ice-creams, or walking along the woodland and coastal paths, amongst a colourful assortment of hydrangea, rhododendrons, tree ferns and redwoods. The resort boasts two high class hotels, a la carte menus, a swimming pool, a lifesize concrete boat, topiary, pools and wishing wells. The creator describes the resort as "a home for fallen buildings," and its ragged skyline and playful narrow passageways which were meant to provide "more fun for more people." It does just that.///Woodland in the vicinity of Portmeirion. Credit: Nigel Dickinson / Polaris

Redwood Palms Pictures and Genart Screening of 'Battle in Seattle', Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, America - 22 Sep 2008
'Battle In Seattle' is written and directed by actor Stuart Townsend and starring his girlfriend Charlize Theron, Michelle Rodriguez, Woody Harrelson, Ray Liotta and Joshua Jackson. The film is based in 1999 and follows a group of activists who arrive in Seattle en masse to protest a meeting of the World Trade Organisation. Among them are Django (Andre Benjamin), Sam (Jennifer Carpenter), Lou (Michelle Rodriguez) and Jay (Martin Henderson). Each has a unique story, but they're united in a common desire to be heard and to make a difference in the world. As the peaceful demonstration escalates into a full-scale riot a State of Emergency is declared by the Mayor of Seattle ((Ray Liotta). Caught in the crossfire of civil liberties and keeping the peace are Seattle residents, including a riot cop (Woody Harrelson) and his pregnant wife (Charlize Theron).
