Fallen Ancient - Five Ponds Wilderness, Adirondacks


A fallen hemlock points the way towards a skeletal stand of red spruce on an esker covered with old growth forest. This tree was likely the victim of the 1995 microburst, which decimated vast areas of the western Adirondacks, especially the Five Ponds Wilderness area. I captured this image during an overnight trip this past October.
