Giant Beech, Oberbach, Rhoen, Bavaria, Germany

Dark Botanical, Olympic Peninsula, WA, USA
The less-travelled Bogachiel and Quinault rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula offer incredibly lush temperate landscapes, with sprawling greenery even in the dead of winter, like the scene in this image, taken a few days after Christmas.
Hurricane Ridge, Olympic National Park, Port Angeles, Washington, USA
This was the first location we visited on my first trip to Olympic National Park. It was a long drive, but so worthwhile. The weather conditions changed quite a bit, with the fog rolling in and out.
