In a Redwood forest that has been cut, besides the rings of trees growing from the old roots of one of the fallen giants (see my previous post on the trees of Jack London State Park), you also find many of these double, tripple, quadruple trees, again, clearly, growing from a single root. The rings I think are essentially healty. All the trees in a ring, if it is big enough, have a chance to live. I am not so sure about the triple trees.

At any rate, this image is not about the trees, or only incidentally at any rate…it is about the light…the unique layered, filtered, highly patterned light of the forest floor. The challenging light, from a photographer’s point of view, of the forest floor. The beautiful light on the forest floor, from almost anyone’s point of view.
