I really like that biome, where there's like dryish scrubby vegetation on the surrounding hills, but once you dip down into the valley next to the river everything is feels much more lush and green

good composition too, makes me want to quest onwards following the water out through the trees and into the sun.

plus all the fun little details you captured - the can on the twig, the proof of humanity carved into the bark, the little birds nest, the sunlight blooming around the flora

it definitely was a special place. we arrived there at 10 in the morning, the air was fresh, the water crystal clear. i did some underwater recordings too. very very peaceful place

reminds me of the html5 palette cycling animation scenes - i can almost hear the water

sunlight coming in from behind is very pretty
