Rain Forest

At a Glance

This generic entry serves, for now, as an image bank for rain forests.

The following were taken at the Hoh rain forest in Washington, USA, on 10 Oct 2007. Clicking on an image leads to a larger version.

This wall was formed when a tree fell, quite some time ago. Soil remaining trapped in the roots supports ferns.

As I recall it, the main arch was about 5 feet high.

Sometimes, when a tree falls in the forest, it becomes the soil on which more trees grow. They call this a nurse log.

An older nurse log

I dubbed this The Yellow Room. The picture does not fully capture it, but it is still pretty cool.

Not hard to imagine satyrs, nymphs, and unicorns in a place like this.

Slimy little fungi growing on a fallen branch

Moss coat.

Moss comes in a lot of different shapes and sizes.

This seems like the sort of tree fey would live in

Looking at the bottom of another fallen tree. From the ground to the top of this hill was probably 12 feet.

A representative sample of the forest. The focus would be a lot better if I was more of a pro at using my camera.

Same place as the pic above.

As you can probably tell, this tree is hugemongous.

Another tiny forest, growing on bark.

A bit of moss.

Owls nest on trees like this, which are called snags. The trees are dead, but they continue to be useful for birds of prey because they offer a great vantage point for spotting scampering snacks.

I’m hoping to go back sometime soon, and to check out other forests, so more pics may appear here eventually.
