22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Forest Floor
There is a very special place near Dauphin, PA and 30 minutes from Harrisburg, PA. It is called Stony Creek Valley and Stony Creek runs through it. This image was taken near the creek and shows the first light in the creek area striking the moss and fallen leaves of Autumn on the forest floor. It speaks to one's desire to be deep in the forest and feel, smell and see nature at its best.
