Picea abies + Larix decidua (4744' N 1545' E)

Image of European Larch

Description:

2010.04.09 Lower Austria, district Neunkirchen, Rax northern flank/Wachthttlkamm (~1070 m AMSL).Habitat shot; here you can easily differentiate larch and spruce by absence or presence of needles. Also you can see how larches tend to grow straight but not always do, while spruces have an unbeatable attitude of never deviating from growing straight upwards.
