MPC #162 Forests July 7 to July 31

[geomorph]

I'm kinda shocked I won that last one, but when there aren't many voters, I guess randomness can happen. I figured forests would be a pretty accessible one to most folks. Even if you are a desert dweller you can probably head up to the mountains and find something. Landscapes work, so do details of the forest, pretty much anything that involves lots of trees. Making this one go the better part of the month to include 3 weekends of shooting time. Enjoy.
