The Future of the Boulder Field, a photo from Pennsylvania, Northeast

Photographer's Note

One final upload before I disappear from TE for about a week. We will be in Colorado first for a wedding and then some sightseeing. I am closing my series on the Boulder Field with what might happen to it in the future as a "Show and Tell."

About 13,000 years ago at the end of the Ice Age, the climate warmed and the forest slowly reclaimed the surrounding landscape through natural succession. This same process is reclaiming boulder field as well. Pine needles and leaves fill cracks between rocks then decompose to become soil in which seedlings take root. Over time the forest may once again cover Boulder Field, but until then, we can enjoy this National Natural Landmark.

We are looking at the edge of the Boulder Field. I suspect the process described above has already reclaimed this edge. That lone tree I photographed might be the front line of reclamation.

Hello Murat,

Have a great time in Colorado, at the wedding and later sightseeing.
I suppose that the boulder field will look like here in this photo. But when will it happen?
Beautiful light.

Best regrads MAlgo

Hello Murat,

The contrasts of sunlight and shadows, dappling the surface of the ground, makes a most attractive photograph.

Have a lovely w/e,
Bev :-)

Hello Murat,
Still lots of boulders to be seen here, but a lot more greenery as well. I really like the pattern the sunlight and shadows created. Have a nice trip to Colorado, I am sure it will offer lots of great photo opportunities as well.

Hello Murat.
Splendid landscape in this exuberant forest with thick trees, which provide good shade in this clearing in the foreground, where stones and roots alternate.
Good sharpness, lighting and color.
Good work; I like it
Have a great day. Best regards
Luis.

murat

nature is fantastic ever. a plant can break a stone after many years in a gap and the dead leaves produce a new soil despite the bed of rocks. nice images of this place.

take care
