Description
As we were getting closer to Milford Sound we entered the pristine rain forest that covers the West Coast of the southern part of the South Island and is part of the Fjordland National Park. This region has more than 200 rain days and receives anywhere from 5 to 7 m of annual precipitation. This mid-latitude rain forest looks entirely different than its northern counterpart because New Zealand had been completely isolated for millions of years and the flora and fauna are unlike anywhere else.

Fabulous picture! This looks lush and beautiful
Fantastic and beautiful view!
A super shot my friend!!
The good thing about these forests, there are no snakes or animals that might bite you!
So lovely! It reminds me a bit of the rain forests in the U.S. Pacific Northwest but with more moss.
land and there are many tall tree ferns and others that look like palms!
ein fantastisches Foto
Very beautiful shot (and forest).
Fascinating capture of the jungle's atmosphere
Great shot.
beautiful mood and lighting
Wonderful captures my friend. God bless.
So exciting to see this, and how very different from your home!
Shining.
So interesting to see this, after we've talked about it at some length. Everything looks vaguely familiar, but it's just the similarity of greens and mosses. When I look at each plant and tree a bit longer, none of them look like what I've seen before. Even the ferns have a different pattern from what I'm used to!
@auntietk! The same for me Tara. There are about 80 different types of ferns, some are pretty tall. And I haven't seen any huge leaves like I have seen at Hoh and at the western base of Mt. Rainier.
stunning vegetation ! Great capture of this rain forest. Nice to ear that they made a Park to protect the environment !
Beautiful photo. Great atmo.
It was wet and it was cold!
very impressive view into the forest and it reminds me of one special forest in the west of scotlands highlands which look and trees with moss and lichens were/was the same 😃
