Description
The Pygmy Pine Forest in the New Jersey Pine Barrrens lays under a blanket of fog at sunrise. I had hoped to capture a beautifully colored sunrise on this day, but the misty foggy morning that I got also provide for some compelling images.
The Pygmy Pines lay in the Central Coastal area of the Pine Barrens. The pitch pine trees here do not grow much higher that 6 ft tall and some are full grown at just 4ft. When standing on the ridgelines (one of the few spots in South Jersey that has some rolling hills) you can see for miles over the tops of the trees. Scientists believe that centuries of exposure to periodic wildfires and poor soil nutrition have contributed to the growth habit of these trees.
