Description

Coastal fog darkens and obscures the wind-sculpted forms of Sitka spruce trees in the lush forest near the summit of Heceta Head north of Florence. This group of trees in particular possesses incredible shapes. The mist was coming through in billows, constantly changing the lighting and what was clearly visible. It was dark enough that I had to use a fairly long exposure, so I waited for the moment when the breeze calmed enough to stop rustling the ferns to capture this image. Being there felt like being in the middle of a haunted fairytale.
