Cypress Knees Rising from Dawn Water in Rio Swamp

by Griffin Hartman

Dark, still water fills the frame, reflecting the pale orange glow of nautical dawn on the horizon. Several cypress knees protrude vertically from the black surface, their rough, textured bark against the smooth liquid. Ferns line the unseen edges of the swamp, their green fronds catching the low light. A fine mist of sea spray hovers over the water, softening the details of the distant horizon haze. The dry season air leaves the vegetation crisp and sharp against the muted background. Light spills across the water, creating a thin, luminous path that leads toward the brightening sky. One knee casts a faint, elongated shadow that ripples slightly in the calm surface.
