Thanks for the comments, Dan and maplemoth662! The national park is a bit tucked away, I suppose. People know it for the waterfall.

A very beautiful, and a very interesting photo....a very remarkable photo of a fungus, at work....

Almost looks like its suffocating in its own web. I just came back from 3 months in Belize, mostly in the south. I haven't heard of that national park before.
