I took this photo in J. Maynard Miller Town Forest, located in southern Vermont.  On this day I was searching for black gum trees.  These trees are common south of the Mason Dixon line, but not common all the way up in Vermont.  Some of these black gum trees in Vernon are more than 400 years old.  After a day in the forest, I was hiking back and took this photo as the late day sunlight silhouetted the trees.
