Visited the Hoh Rain Forest for the second time in my life. the first was in 1994. Still magical as ever, like an enchanted elven forest from the world of Tolkein. It was raining a bit this morning and last night and I was concerned about photographing in the rain but once I went inland into the real "rain forest," then the rain stopped.
I tried to find one area I photographed back in 1994, but after 15 years, I think it must have changed a bit. Although the Hoh is a magical forest, I feel like the most incredible forest so far has been that redwood forest in Del Norte park with the fog and dripping leaves. That was just so ethereal and other-worldly and it was just me and the forest. Only thing was you could hear traffic occasionally as it was near the highway. Even so, it was almost like stepping into another world.
I feel like having to work on this trip causes a bit of stress and having to rush things. That is something I do not like about working while traveling. Something to consider for future trips.
In Forks tonight and am staying in a hotel with wifi so I can get some work done. The library is good but it closes at 7pm and I spent half the day in the forest.
