For #ForestFriday and #scape Friday. A photo of the rainforest along the Cordillera Central in Costa Rica, the mountain chain that serve as the country's backbone (2009).

This photo shows the cloud forest in Costa Rica, crossing from the Central Valley to the Pacific coast. Foreground: A prominent plant stalk with bright green leaves stands sharply in focus near the center. Background: A deep valley blanketed in lush tropical trees fades into heavy white fog and low-hanging clouds. Atmosphere: The scene captures a moody, overcast, and humid day in a high-altitude cloud forest.
