22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Looking Up from The Spot

Near Toledo, Ohio is a little-known local spot, aptly named "The Spot." This features a grove of red pines planted in the mid-twentieth century by boy scouts and community members. These trees are technically invasive to the area, and so they will not be maintained, but eventually torn out. Who knows how long The Spot will be around?
