      I thought so too. I need to go back with my other lenses as the tree is nearly COVERED in the stuff. It was really striking. Posted 5 years ago

      Definitely not. I'm probably heading back tomorrow with a different lens in order to get a full-tree shot. I think there is more fungus than tree! :D Posted 5 years ago
