A fascinating sight in the Pacific northwest forests, especially close to large cities like Vancouver or Seattle, where the lumber industry decimated old growth forests, is big cedars, spruce and fir growing off huge rotten stumps. They're nothing like straight and perfectly round, but it's very beautiful
