The local botanical garden …
… has a remarkable collection of leaves …
… bark, …
… and strange …
… and familiar shapes.
In the pool …
.. a man keeps order, …
… as does another one on land.
The next morning I board a boat that takes me to an island. At the beach I pass a small shrine …
… on my way into the forest …
… where fruits …
… crash to the ground …
… looking like medieval weapons, …
… but with a tasty heart.
Houses …
… and gardens …
… stand against a green background …
… with patches of color.
Close to the mangroves …
… and travellers …
… meet the locals.
Welcome to the Jungle.
