This is one of the stunning picture taken by my wife during her trip on the Milford Track.
I still have to make out what the green undergrowth is.
Given it is a Holiday Season, I am a bit lazy to research. Hope you will bear with me.

Michael, I think it is moss growing on the rocks and tree trunks. Another lovely NZ photo,
I think so too, but wasn’t sure.
We saw it elsewhere and it was the thickest moss I’ve ever seen. They do get lots of rain.
I understand moss only thrive under very clean environment – clean air, lots of oxgen – no doubt, Milford is very clean.
I also think it is moss — I’ve seen it thick like this in rainforest conditions on our own (Canadian) west coast, most spectacularly up in Haida Gwaii (formerly called the Queen Charlotte Islands.) A splendid, haunting photo; it does the moss & forest justice.
Yes, they are moss, a bit haunting, as you said 🙂
Beautiful – very Lord of the Rings image
Glad that you like it!
So beautiful! 🙂 ♥ ❤
Thank you!
