No, you don’t need to have your eyes checked! This stand of trees can be found on the road to Mount St. Helens, it is in fact a tree farm, composed of Noble Firs. The trees were planted after the previous forest, composing of a mix of old growth Douglas Firs and Hemlocks, were flattened by the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. The blurry appearance of the landscape is accredited to the symmetrical growth patterns of the trees. As a result of regimental pruning and trimming practices in place to produce high grade lumber free of knots, the trees are highly uniform creating this eye hurting spectacle! -Jean Photograph courtesy of Matt Read http://epod.usra.edu/blog/2014/02/theres-nothing-wrong-with-your-eyes.html
