Sunken Forest, Fire Island


Sunken Forest, looking west...
The sand dunes are huge and make it appear that the forest is below sea level...It isn't.
The Sunken Forest is just one of the east coast maritime forests, this one along Fire Island. There are trees twisted from the ocean wind and salt air.
As you walk through the forest and sand dunes, it feels like another world...nature at its best...
At this time of year it is just majestic...no crowds, just beautiful nature.
