entry description
I spent several days in Reunion Island forests. Progress was slow and difficult. The soil is made up of mosses that look solid but are not. I fell over and over again, sinking into these mosses up to the waist. These forests are magical.The photographs were shot with a 4x5 inches large format camera.
