Cranberries are not the only berry you can find in a swamp. These black ones are called crowberries. They have a mild flavour, but I pick them anyway. They are much smaller cranberries. The leaves are also really small... like everything else in this harsh acidic environment. Swamps like this one are also known as bogs. Underneath the layers of moss, there is peat that can be burned in power plants to produce heat. You may notice in the photos below that there are some trees around the wooden walking path. Don't be fooled by them, though. The surface around them is not completely solid. As you proceed further into the swamp, the pines vanish altogether. There is practically no soil, and it is completely wet. You can get your shoes wet if you step off the wood. #Photography #Fruits
