Sky? What sky? I don't see any sky! |
The jungles in places like the Monteverde area of Costa Rica are called "cloud forests" because a great deal of the moisture comes from low-lying clouds as seen in the photos above.
Pictured left are mosses and fungi which grow on the trees in a cloud forest.

I think those are spectacular pictures of the cloud forest. Thanks for sharing, I love seeing places I will never get to visit. Wonderful, Kay.
Too funny about trying to photo misty cloudy skies, they might add interest but tricky to catch. Like your photo of the colourful moss, nsture sure does put on some shows for us.
Sweet post with the photo of the happy couple.
I love the way the misty sky looks in these rain forest shots. Great shots.
Gorgeous shots Kay!

I love the soft look of low clouds and fog. - Margy
what a shame, such beautiful scenery obscured by the low lying devil clouds.
those clouds made it more mysterious.. that humans yearn to discover more... hehehe... very lovely Kay...
dropping by.
Wow! wonderful shots. The beauty of nature would have been enhanced by some sun light.
Love these misty shots - dramatic and lovely all at the same time.
Lovely capture. Happy weekend!

You may not ave found much blue sky, but still shared some very neat skies shots. I had an occasion years ago to visit here. It can be a very pretty place.
Replace the tropical trees with firs and pines, and it would look like here! I doubt it would FEEL like here, though.
Dd is going to Costa Rica in February for a week, going by those photos, I think she'll have a lovely time.
