It's hard to comprehend the forces involved.

If so surely they would have rotted down by now. It might just be due to soil erosion.

Yes, those are the knock-down remains of Mount St. Helens' 1980 fury.
However, that's Mount Adams under the moon, not Mount St. Helens.
(Mount St. Helens is behind the camera.)
Austin's memory might be playing tricks on him. ;^)

Gah, you're right! Thanks for setting that straight. In my defense, this was a few years ago, and when I typed in the title, I was thinking of Mount St. Helens. Either that or my mind is going...
Regarding the trees, those are in fact the downed trees from 1980. Nearby Spirit Lake is still covered with a giant, migrating mat of bleached logs. It's quite incredible there, eerie and compelling at once.

Looking straight up, under the canopy of several palmettos (I think silver saw palmettos), in Myakka River State Park.

My favorite so far from sunny FLA (TM)--very Day of the Triffids though.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Reminds me of the more modern movie "The Happening."
Speaking of the plant apocalypse, here's a nice live oak that was looming over me. Same camera, lens, etc.:

Short of renting a scissor lift, that's definitely the right camera angle for that part of the world...:)
