A Southern Bog
If you every seek a place that is totally confusing, frightening, disorienting, come to our Southern swamps and bogs. These are places where you can hardly tell the reflections from reality, safe paths from instant disaster. And yet, they are captivating. The image shows vines, tree trunks, small plants and a little bit of open water from recent rain. A few more weeks and this place will be totally obscured by the growth and leaves. The water surface will probably turn green from algae and aquatic plants. Then again, the place may dry up and present a squishy ground until the next rain. Bogs are that way.
