Hiking

Because the trees are in the water, some of the trees that can't tolerate it also die. This also brings light back to the once-dark forest.

A swamp unfortunately the trees are destroyed here. They can't stand wet feet

Suddenly they appear: trees in the middle of the water. As if the forest has gone swimming for a moment. Mirror-smooth water, roots in the mud, and a view that becomes quiet in your head. 🪵✨

Perfect photo moment, or just stand still and look.
