Calm breezes speak through branches of trees laden with viridity, capturing fire beetles of intense, yet susuruously, flickering light. Intense sounds resonate from below this spectacular fountain, as aquatic plants display their beauty in a slowly darkening surrounding. Thus once again, bringing peace and tranquility. Leaving one breathless to an ever changing, dynamical universe, as my wandering continues through this thicket of broken branches and dense leaves......
