We're way above the earth, high above three rivers flowing making their way to the sea.
But what what are the rivers flowing through?And what is that strange looking heart?
We're looking down on a mangrove forest,often found in tropical regions. As warm rivers water nears the ocean, the shallow,muddy shoreline becomes a perfect growing place for thousands of mangrove trees .The trees thrust upward , fighting for light ,while under the water ,among the dark roots ,swirls of fish, snakes and crocodiles hunt .
The mangrove forest is always changing . The heart is natural clearing -a place where the ground is slightly higher ,which causes the salt water to evaporate faster. The sand is saltier in these high spots ; vegetation cannot grow here. But because nothing stays the same for a long in the mangrove forest, the heart could be gone in a year, or ten years, leaving nothing we recognize except the thick green growth.
