Steeped in silence, the tenebrous forest seems to quietly consider the interlopers passing beneath its venerable boughs, reserving judgment for a later time. A few clumps of stunted mountain laurel huddle in spots where the deep shadows cast by the forest canopy are thinnest and sunlight has struggled through the darkness to reach the ground.
