A magical forest. I think the carving from your Spring Forest post would fit wonderfully here :)
As for the swamp: when I was a child I visited just such a place with my brothers (we lived in the foothills of the Shawangunk Mountains). There was a pool of mud there that acted like quicksand and swallowed up just about anything. The picture brings back memories.
Great photo essay.
Oh ... you gave me one idea. I have some more shots of the wild forest and some masks carved from the old tree that can be displayed together. I will have to try.
The swamp is a very interesting place. This is a different life. It can be dangerous for humans, but it’s interesting and beautiful in its own way:-)
