Notes
[edit]- ^ This is an aerial view of a dense forest landscape. The forest consists mostly of tall, green coniferous trees, typical of alpine or mountainous regions. In the center of the image, there is an area where trees have been cut down, with piles of logs visible on the forest floor. The cut trees appear in a few different spots, with some open spaces of bare ground among them. The forest stretches into the distance, with mountains faintly visible on the horizon under a partly cloudy sky. The terrain is hilly, and the forest appears healthy in most areas, though the cut sections give a slightly rugged feel.
