Windy Bay Creek

The Windy Bay Creek winds through the old growth forest and there was enough water left in the creek to give a bit of a reflection. When I was there the creek was very low and the mosses were very dry, due in part to the deer predation of the understory, which has the ability to promote moisture retention, Lyell Island, Haida Gwaii, BC.

    Given that this is a rain forest, it does look really dry! Terrific comp with the reflections from the creek in the foreground!

    The little bit of water in the creek does give the scene a nice reflection. It's too bad that it was dry when you were there, but you made the best of it and got a wonderful image.
