I recently visited an old growth forest. Something I've always wanted to do. This was a 120 acre tract of forest never touched by man. It was a hot and hazy day as you can see from the first picture (not the old growth forest, but in the area).
Down in the valley there was a stream meandering the length. The water was refreshingly cool, the air hot and humid, and in the top pool you can see the mist rising off the cool water
The light reflecting off the clear water was amazing
The green you see is not plants in the water, but the reflection of the trees leaves
Experimenting with the light
The pictures really can't capture the beauty I saw that day. It was an experience I will never forget.
