Beech Trees

Fiordland on New Zealands south island is extremely wet with 5 - 9 metres of rainfall/year. This results in a temperate rain forest many of are beech trees.They come in an astonishingly wide form and variety. Many are old and gnarled and therefore were a perfect choice for the movie of the Lord of the Rings. The weather in this image is very unusual accentuating the colour of the young leaves and the water. In fact the colours were so strong I have actually reduced the saturation of green and yellow in this image.
