is the temperate Rainforest in the alps. These giants
are only 70 years old, a regrowth forest after the
1939 fires destroyed the original stands which were
hundreds of years old with trees up to 400' tall.
These tall timbers grow along the Acheron Way
we have sought solace here for over 50 years, escaping
the close quarters of metropolitan living.
Stresses of University exams were often washed
away on walking tours along the then unsealed
track and feet cooled in the Acheron river.

ReplyDeleteSince childhood, I have had such a love of trees. Like old friends. How I would love to stroll beneath these!! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful - I love the way the sunlight shines through the trees. So serene.
ReplyDeleteArija, you've got some great pictures of a wonderful place. No wonder people go there to find solace. I would imagine cares drop away with each step.
ReplyDeleteI can easily believe this place is a great stress reducer. Are those redwoods or some relative of them? I can't think of too many other trees that grow to 400'!
ReplyDeleteRain forests are so special, each one unique and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love that second photo of the tall trees with the light shining down through! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful place to go to relieve stress!

ReplyDeleteI'd love to spend time there, so peaceful with the light filtering down through the tree tops.
ReplyDeleteThe forest primeval, indeed - great photos of an interesting place.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful forest to walk in. Hard to believe those trees are only 70 years old. Yet I'll bet it looked a lot like the temperate rain forest on the Washington penninsula before the fire. Great captures.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome oasis. Beautifully photographed. Feels wonderful and healthy for being a second generation forest.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love the way the sunlight is filtering through the trees!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful world, Arija. A perfect spot to spend quality time with Nature!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful place. I love the feeling of lush forests like that. And it looks so healthy for being a second growth forest, ours dont look near that good most of the time.
