Alto Caparaó is known throughout the national territory for its natural beauty, and is one of the most beautiful regions in terms of ecotourism destinations for those who love and appreciate nature. A region of beautiful mountains that form a valley that surrounds the city, with an exuberant landscape, Alto Caparaó invites us to feel the fresh air, bathe in crystalline waters and fall in love with the climate and its natural beauties.
The Hoh Rainforest is located on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington state, USA. It is one of the largest temperate rainforests in the U.S.[1] Within Olympic National Park, the forest is protected from commercial exploitation. This includes 24 miles (39 km) of low elevation forest 394 to 2,493 feet (120 to 760 m) along the Hoh River. The Hoh River valley was formed thousands of years ago by glaciers. Between the park boundary and the Pacific Ocean, 48 km (30 mi) of river, much of the forest has been logged within the last century, although many pockets of forest remain.

A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.
My purple native Australian orchid. Typically found in the rainforests of eastern Australia, but this one has found its home in a shady corner of the balcony here at Cherrybrook, in northern Sydney.

Salmonberries found in the Olympic National Forest in Washington. I rarely know if wild berries are edible or not so I didn't try these, but they are edible. Thanks to Peter for ID help.

I heard, but could not see running water, but there was a hint of a trail going into bushes. After some clambering over logs and rocks, found a vantage point onto this delightful little waterfall.
"Serra da Bocaina" National Park.
It has an area of 100,000 ha. It is located in the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, in the municipalities of São José do Barreiro, Cunha, Ubatuba and Areias in São Paulo and Paraty and Angra dos Reis in Rio de Janeiro.
Hot, sub-hot and super humid, rainfall ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 mm per year, average annual temperature of 23ºC, reaching 0ºC in the coldest months (June and July).
It is represented by a set of elevated surfaces forming well-defined mountains. The altitudes are on average between 800 m and 950 m.
The dominant plant formation is the Tropical Rainforest Atlantic Perenifolia, very rich in species, followed by Forests of Latitude. On the plateau we find native species such as araucaria and maritime pine. Several epiphytes occur in the area, especially on the banks of rivers, such as micro-orchids.
Temperate rainforest is probably less diverse and definitely not as colourful as tropical one – but it is still captivating and full of all kinds of life. Taking many shots of it in early November (which was appropriately very rainy), I have arrived to the conclusion that I need to try and do some radically different in postprocessing to make those shots interesting. The lush greenery went away - and instead you see less – or maybe more. It depends on how you look ;-)
