I’m not traditionally a nature-as-scenery photographer.  I prefer animals and humans.  But on a recent hike through a trail in Papatsco State Park, I took my camera along and captured some of the lightly forested trail.

I definitely prefer for photographs like these to have animals.  It looks so empty and desolate.  But this may just be a consequence of being a suburbanite raised on the Discovery channel.  It’d be pretty boring if they didn’t cut all the footage they had of jungles and savannahs devoid of animals.
