Hiking in El Yunque National Forest

I had a great time hiking in the rain forest this afternoon. I think I can improve the subject and image quality in my future pictures, but for now see if you can find some enjoyment from these amateur shots.

There were pools of some type of liquid everywhere on the rain forest floor. Probably blood.

The canopy was incredibly dense. In several patches along the trial the light was dim enough that it might as well have been night.

Although the picture makes it hard to see, I was trying to capture the tree damage found in the wake of a flood.

This waterfall was incredibly loud and got louder as I approached it. On the hike towards it, I was thinking about Rachel's Sound as Touch entry. My mind was asploding as the decibels of water's violent submission to gravity increased. I am still surprised how astonishingly little I actually know about sound.

Whoa, check out the roots on this tree.

No really, check them out. I was surprised to see how many tree roots were exposed in the more eroded areas of the hiking trial.

Ce n'est pas un mur des racines. It's a picture of a wall of roots. Pretend it isn't so blurry.
