New Zealand Rainforest View
This rain forest image was composed while hiking to Mauan Lake, near Milford Sound in NZ. In the words of Margaret Barbour: "Officially, this is a temperate-podocarp hardwood rain forest, but these dry words belie the rich diversity of plant life around, encompassing every imaginable shade of green, brown and grey. They also do injustice to the experience of standing dwarfed by the soaring trunks of 400-year-old Rimu Trees, draped in moss, with their beautifully drooping branches of tiny deep-green needles like a million cascading green waterfalls."
