Hoh Temperate Rainforest
Located in a valley formed by glaciers near the northwest coast of Washington State, The Hoh Forest is one of the largest and finest remaining temperate rainforests in America. It is designated as such due to forest receiving an average of 130 inches (330cm) of rainfall annually. The warm, most environment allows both trees and vegetation. Some of the spruce can grow to a height of over 300 feet. In the dense forests both trees and mosses (food for the deer and elk) work to create a vast quiet zone and a sense of silent peacefulness can be felt as you wander the forest. The richness of life and the quiet stillness as the early morning fog began to fade into the forest is the emotion I wanted to capture with this image.
