Nurse Log at the Hoh

You wouldn’t think sun would be a problem in a rainforest, would you? The day we went to the Hoh rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, it was a beautiful spring day. It would have been the perfect day for everything – except rain forest photos. Regardless, I still like this shot – it seems like it’s straight out of “Lord of the Rings meets the Matrix”.
What you are looking at is a nurse log. When a cedar falls, it sprouts many other new cedars that grow in a perfect line down the length of the trunk. This is a case where several sprouts have grown into full trees.
