Photo by @CristinaMittermeier. This is a land where gigantic clouds clamber in from the Pacific only to be gouged by the jagged peaks of the coastal mountains of the Great Bear Rainforest. Temperate rainforest stretches as far as the eye can see, and as the sun sets,its last rays illuminate the edge of the sea, where the ocean meets the forest. With @PaulNicklen and #Gitgaat First Nation. To see more images from my travels through the Great Bear Rainforest, you can #follow me at @CristinaMittermeier
