Thanks, this wetland was created in an area of mangrove forest alongside a tidal river in the tropics and merges into lowland rainforest on the slightly higher ground. For those who did not know the pneumatophores allow submerged plants to breathe at high tide.
Pretty pictures! Love the pneumatophores, too.
