Air travelers get a new experience at Fresno-Yosemite International.  The airport unveiled it's new sequoia-scape art display Thursday.  Replica trees now line the airport's lobby. 

For many, it is like stepping inside one of the Valley's national parks. "We were touching them to see if they were real.  They aren't but it's really neat," said Susie Hagy of Fresno. 

The bark on the trees was sculpted by hand by a company out of Carlsbad.  "We worked on this for a year," said Gary Hanick of NatureMaker. 

The entire tree project was done at a cost of $1 million - part of a $45 million renovation of the airport's terminal.
