Sunlight peeks through the canopy to a mossy Douglas Fir

I was hiking with a few friends in the Pinal Mountains of Arizona when I saw this massive Douglas Fir that was almost completely covered by moss. The sun was perfectly positioned, bursting through the canopy and down onto the trunk. This photo is looking up from the trunk to the canopy.
