Fairytale Forest
This particular mangrove forest looked dark and scary, like something out of a fairytale where a witch would live. Part of that had to do with the overcast and storm that was a brewing but the winding nature of many mangrove trees create a very distinct space and feeling a long with it, they are also a hub for biodiversity and various key ecosystem services.
