Ooh, a forest…

Ooh, a forest…

Intriguing, she thought,
as she walked around  
this wonderful canopy.
It was vast.
It was magnificent,
and there were
so many different trees.
What else would she find,
as she continued to marvel?
Would she hug a tree?
Well, why not.
She was about to open her arms,
but then disaster.
It was a huge snake!
She backed away,
and stood there for a moment.
Then she turned around, and ran.
And she continued to run
until she was in the car park.

This is a great place in Cape Town – have a look: Tree Canopy Walkway

This image shows a wooden platform/ bridge in a jungle like environment. The bridge is made of good quality seasoned wood and so are the railings. We can see tall pine trees on the front and sides of the bridge.

  11. What an awesome walkway! I clicked on the link and was amazed! So pretty, and I get now why the protagonist spotted a huge snake!
    No extra fee to go on the walkway? Do I see another scam possibility for the MIOJ? 🤔
