Gosh - I will have to look around to see if I have any pictures of a forest........ oh wait 😁 Excellent examples as always John. I love the Great Smoky Mountains and Great Basin park shots.

I am amazed you are still finding enough space on your Scramble board for these topics.

Forests in the Pacific NW tend to be on the dense side

The Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park:

We do have a huge forest as most of the northern part of Saskatchewan is covered in the Boreal forest with over 100,000 lakes. This is a wonderful area to explore with a canoe and camping gear.

The Southern half of this province is renowned for anything but forest. Short grass prairies and agricultural land dominate. Around Swift Currant Saskatchewan is particularly flat and has monster farms with mono-culture crops as far as you can see. On the highway out of Swift Currant there is a lone Poplar tree that has been called the Swift Currant National Forest.

Alan, great forest images! I especially love the Seal Cove and Paradise Creek captures—excellent composition and content. The Hoh Rainforest is another favorite too. Thank you for sharing each of these!

Trent, I love your first image—great composition with the foreground tree branches against the swift stream, and the water bordered by trees in the middle and background as well. Nice. I like the second image with the canoe leading the eye to the distant forest shoreline. Also nice. Perhaps my favorite is the lone Poplar tree centered in the otherwise empty landscape. “I can’t see the forest for the tree!” 😉

Fortunately there are some nice forests still left on the planet.

A few from the Sierra Nevada:

Jeffrey, wow! The first image is so appealing—perfect composition capturing the trees in the dense fog. Perhaps my favorite. The last image of rows of golden foliage is another perfectly composed capture and makes me reconsider my choice for a “favorite.” The snowy bare branches in the third image creates a memorable image as well—nice! The unusual B&W composition of large tree trunks works well here too. Thank you for sharing all of these perfect images.

Kyle, beautiful images you’ve captured and shared—thank you! My favorite is the first image with the fallen mossy timbers in the foreground stream and the background of trees and bright green foliage—very nice! I like the giant sequoias image too—interesting composition. The cedar forest with walkway certainly looks inviting to the eye—and the visitor. Another favorite is the fourth image of redwoods, I like the fallen timber in the foreground bordering the standing trees beyond. Very nicely captured.
