Infrared Portrait - @ryulincoln in the Appalachian forest
As @akdx suggested, these mountains and forests are very old, probably where they get that special feeling.
The ferns do really well in the region, due to the mature tree canopy above. They thrive as being a lesser plant than does not need flowers to pollinate. Many areas of the forest would have hundred of square feet of ferns. Along with all the rain they are very happy.
Some other pictures from the forest, it just keeps going on for a long time. We sticked to the trails and still we did not explore all of the offshots and smaller game trails.
While it was very hot the days we spent in the forest, we got rain a few times which helped to cool off the area. And with the tree canopy and mountain range it helps temperatures under 90f for most of the time.
I love to see and visit this type of forests. They are real treasure of this earth.
@akdx
great, ill keep posting more pictures and videos. Glad you love to see them, and they sure are a treasure.
I know what you mean. This feeling is just amazing. You are just in awe of such places/forests.
Furthermore, I really like ferns - they seem so calm and prehistoric. Big ferns definitely are breathtaking but these look pretty "small".

Me too, I have a special place in my heart for ferns. They are really special, one is they are closer to a cross between moss and a plant than an actual plant. They do not flower, they have spores underneath the leaves. Or have large stalks of spores like the Cinnamon fern.
I think they are very old, and simple plants making them survive well. Yeah these are small because they are growing 2000 feet in the mountains. The mentioned Cinnamon ferns are about as big as they get, about 3' tall. But yeah the pictures ones are foot tall.
Thanks for all the information about ferns. They are the "dinosaurs of the plants", somehow.
It looks like you are a true adventurer @solominer 👍

Thank you for sharing @solominer
Do you have What's Up number ?
@santiintan
No I do not, not even sure what that is.
Oh oke 🙂
Original photos.
Have you used filters?
@uadigger
thanks much, its a modified Lumix GH3 to see infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths.
The only filters I use are passthrough filters screwed onto my camera lens. And then i correct the white balance in the pictures afterwards but nothing else.
Thanks for your reply
