Rainforests & Reefs

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 wife and I visited the Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park two weeks ago. One of the most magical places I have seen thus far!

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.

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 ;-)

1 hour before Sunset, there were a beautiful rain in Sierra Nevada, and the sky full of rainbows.
This photo was editing by warming up the temperature. Hope you like it ! ;-)

A friendly circle. They are all admiring the one yellow and black froggie in their group, who is very much enjoying their admiration! Of course each of these tiny frogs are so amazing in their colors and patterns, both as toys and all the more in real life!
