Fall in the Rainforest

[AlanLichty]

I have been digging through my archives checking out the date/times for various fall leaf shots to plan out my next ventures looking for fall colors. Fall color shows on the west side of the Cascades and in the coastal ranges are not as intense as what you see with aspen groves in the Rockies and don't really hit peak until mid to late October and in some years lingering right into early November.

The image below was shot in the Hoh Rainforest in mid October which is just about the start of the colors. If we have good rains the colors can last for up to 3 weeks.

Excellent image, Alan.

Yeah, the fall color up there always feels quite subdued. To use the term fall color almost seems like an exaggeration since the fall colors blend in so much to the normal greens.

This is a really nice forest shot, but I think we get spoiled by some of the recent NE fall color shots Tom has posted, or even our own experiences up in the Tetons or Colorado where the fall colors really stand out.

That's a great image Al. Your framing displays the beauty very well.
