Daily Photo – Canopy Revisited

A couple of days back I posted a photo of the jungle canopy but it was just one tree really. Below is a variation that shows more trees.

When flying over the jungle and looking down the canopy just looks like one impenetrable solid mass of green. But from the ground looking up you can see plenty of sky. What I still find remarkable is the space between the trees. As I said before, my theory is that this is where the trees rub against each other in high winds, creating these separations.

While the view up through the canopy looks open and airy, the spread of the leaves and the movement of the sun means the light that does reach the jungle floor is heavily filtered and the jungle is quite dark.
