Limestone Bluff Cedar-Pine Forest at Lone Rock Point, Vermont – This forest type, dominated by northern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis), is common in Vermont only where calcareous cliffs overlook Lake Champlain. At Lone Rock Point, thin soil among the outcrops of Dunham dolostone supports a stunted cedar forest with eastern hemlock and several other trees.
Harvesting of the rot-resistant cedar trunks and other trees has disturbed this site, but 300 year old trees are present elsewhere on the lake shore, and 1000 year old cedars grow on cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment in Ontario, Canada.
The location of this site is depicted in the following gigapan: www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=30397

...................................Notes: I used a
Nikon D40 (ISO 800, 1/6 second) with a Nikkor P C
105mm f/2.5 lens at f/32. I pulled the focus a bit
for the lowest couple of rows. Sunlight was
variable, so I repeated the panorama once. The top
half is from the first try, bottom half is mostly
from the second. Photos were shot in NEF and
exposure was later increased by 1 to 1.5 stops.
The brightness of many photos was adjusted
individually or in groups.
