RETROSPECTS 2024 #3 - PACIFIC FORESTS


Lush forest, Oswald West State Park, Pacific Coast, Oregon

Part of my love for the Pacific Northwest is due to magnificent trees and vegetation we can find there. The lush forest, including the remaining parts of pacific rainforest, is just beautiful. Trees can be found in sizes rarely seen in the rest of the country. Like here in Iowa, there is always some dead wood laying on the ground that turns me away from making the click. When I find a spot with a promising outcome and light that supports the story about the location, I want at least give it a try. Well, part of the story can’t be told through a photo, and that’s about how wonderful it smells in these woods. So, let’s at least try to tell the visual story as good as we can…😉
