swamp

I've only re-discovered bogs again this year, and I wonder what took me so long. Here's what moorish water looks like in infrared:

And here's its colour in plain:

(Yes indeed, red. This isn't dirty water - quite the contrary, it is relatively clear.)

And this here is cotton grass, which I haven't seen since ... well, I think since more than twenty years. It is very rare and only grows in bogs and moorish places, and many of those have been drained since, only a very few remain.
