Description
Bigleaf Maple in the rainforest along the Hoh River. Olympic Peninsula National Park, Washington.
Please ZOOM...really worth it:)
"Lush beards of clubmoss attached to boughs but feed only on air and light. The rain forest atmosphere supplies enough moisture and wind-bourne nutrients.
Certain trees like these bigleaf maples support denser clusters of airplants or epiphytes (lichens and hanging mosses)".
We were sorry Andrea (durleybeachbum) and Denise (MrsRatbag) weren't along with us...but they'd probably still be there taking pictures in the dark. LOL

This is just spectacular! Full view is gorgeous. You've done such a fine job with this shot. I know how the light was fading by the time we got to the maple grove, but that certainly didn't stop you from getting an A-1 image! Really fine work.
Yes, you nailed that on the head, you'd have to tear me away physically!!! Beautiful crop of growth on this tree, I'm so jealous you get to see the rainforest!
Fantastic capture and details!!!

Exceptionally beautiful!
OMG, Bill! What an awesome shot of an awesome tree! This is just incredible! I could have probably spent the better part of an hour photographing this from every possible angle and distance. Amazing! The first thing I thought of when I saw this tree was the jungle on Pandora in the Avatar movie. This is one heck of a shot, Bill! Top notch all the way!
great capture, wonderful shot!
It looks positively prehistoric. And, I guess it really is. Great shot and thanks for the details it always adds to the richness.
