![]() "Big Rock" |
I believe this is another view of the valley we were in before. Growing up
a few hour drive from the Sierras, I was use to large granite mountains with
some Confers but mostly uninterrupted granite. This is completely different.
Besides the fact that the rock is not granite, there are plants growing all over
it. Outdoor, Natural light photo

![]() "Valley" |
Again, we see how plants seem to take over any where there is sun light.
Again, we are not in a true forest here, but there is still a very decent amount
of flora. Outdoor, Natural light photo.

![]() "Rain Forest" |
This picture is overlooking the canopy of a true rain forest. See how
the trees make up a green blanket. Also notice how the forest
goes on for ever. These are all giant trees, over time they evolved to
get as high as possible in order to get enough light to survive. If they
did not grow tall, their neighbors would block the sun out from them. Outdoor, Natural light photo

![]() "Jungle" |
Here is a view of a rain forest from underneath its canopy. As you can see,
the trees are huge. Also notice how in the under-story how the trees and
other plants are not as close together. That is because not as much light
gets down to the ground. Outdoor, Natural light photo.

![]() "Emergence" |
Here is a photo of our group emerging from an alpine rain forest. We are around
3000 feet above sea level here. The diversity of the plants has lessened,
but the number has not. The reason why everyone is looking down is that
the ground is muddy and slippery and they do not want to lose their footing.
Outdoor, Natural light photo.

![]() "Mosses" |
This photo is looking strait up at a water fall. See how the mosses are
behind the falls, an ideal place to be if you are a moss. I like how the water
and moss make vertical lines on the photo. Outdoor, Natural light photo.

![]() "Hill Side" |
This photo is of a hill side covered with shrubs and trees. I like how there
is one solitary tree at the base of the tree that is framed by bare hill side.
This make the tree stand out from the rest. Outdoor, Natural light photo.
|
![]() "Valley" |
This valley is formed by one of the rivers feeding lake Toba. As you have
seen in earlier photos, everything is green. I took this photo because I
liked how how the landscape went on forever. The tree to the left is some sort
of Conifer. Outdoor, Natural light photo.
