This photo was taken up on the Foresthill Road, south/southeast of
Auburn,
California. We had been driving for quite awhile on this rode and passed by
some forests that had recently burned during one of our many
California
forest fires. This photo was taken in a grove of untouched timber. I had
always heard that moss and
lichen only grow on the
north face of trees, but
I guess that is not totally true, since this picture was taken of the south
side of the trees looking north. I believe these are
Douglas Firs but I may
be wrong. You might know better than I.
