So often as you begin to walk into the great forests of the Pacific Northwest, you get a sense of entering a forest primeval and that, like "Hansel & Gretel" you must not forget your bread crumbs. This photo was taken near Kalaloch on the Washington coast.

The pine is the dominant tree of my region present in most forested areas. The plantation has begun for many years and for economic reasons, especially for timber and resin used as raw material for diverse products.
