If all the forests near you look the same perhaps it's time to try a Queensland rainforest, a Tasmanian horizontal forest, Western Australian jarrah or karri forest (each visibly distinct), or the many other types about the globe.

Okay, my fault for forgetting where I was posting. What I meant to say is this:

When you are amongst the trees, one redwood (sequoia sempervirens) forest located in or near Humboldt County, California, looks very similar to any other redwood (sequoia sempervirens) forest located in or near Humboldt County, California, unless one forest or the other is very new growth or very old growth or similar extreme circumstances, and assuming you visit the two forests at roughly the same time of year.

Sure, I did get what you meant "If all the forests near you look the same ..."

I still urge you, if you get the chance, to get out and wander through other forests .. there's quite the variety about the place.
