This is one of the many trees in the old growth forest....hemlock. What I know is that if you have hemlocks, the needles drop off this tree to the soil and make the soil acidic. This forest actually had a logging cabin museum in it so I imagine that some of this was logged at one point but not all of it. Hence the name, old growth forest in lower Michigan. Interesting.
This is an awesome shot. Were you lying down when you took this?
