Structure

This is such an interesting photo to me as I believe that it captures the vertical structure of the area. Standing on the path in North Creek Forest and looking up, it is almost as if there are rows in which each plant grows. Towards the bottom ferns grow in larger numbers, dropping over fallen branches and dead logs. Then as one travels upwards, the plants become taller and reach for the sun a bit more. Ending at the tope of the slope with tall trees such as evergreen or maple trees, which provide shade if necessary for the ground plants to grow.
