I took this snap on a beach back in the summer. The plants are some sort of succelents and they thrive on dry areas, especially on sand. I have seen them in the surrounding forests too, but these forests are mostly pine, sand and dry soil as well.
I was very satisfied with the initial shot, but for an added effect, I added tilt-shift, to emphasize that miniature look. Now the succulents look like tiny trees viewed from a helicopter doing a pass and the blurred perspective gives a feeling of a vast area that goes on and on.
I am not a photographer, but I absolutely love snapping that perfect shot with an old cellphone.
For a bonus, here's a giant camouflaged monster behind the miniature forest, if you can spot him:
