A strip of tattered lace edged the lake

On the west coast the rainfall is high and the mountains divulge quantities of gravel raising the river and lake levels, causing flooding and drowning of the beech and rimu trees. This gives the forest a tattered look- some live trees ,some dead, it is all part of what is to me the real West coast.
