Hoh River Valley, Olympic National Park, Washington State, 1984
Sam Abell
A decomposing leaf leaves only a delicate reminder of itself on a log. Receiving upward of 140 inches (355 centimeters) of rain annually, the Hoh River Valley is home to one of North America's only temperate rain forests. These unique environmental conditions lead to amazing rates of decomposition.
