In today's photo, part of my crew head home across a stretch of lake bridging.
Most of this bridging was to the north-eastern end of our survey area. The lakes look like old sand quarries that had filled with water. The bridging here was quite sturdy but unlike this crew, I tended to wait till the guy in front of me was onto the next foot board before I would step on.
As you can see, from the angle of view I was a fair few feet above this bridging when I took this photo. If you follow the bridging back across the lake to the jungle you'll notice the ramp at the end. That's because the surface of the water was several feet below the surface of the land. This is, in essence, the height of the water table in this area.
In the top left corner of the frame you'll notice the trunk of a tree where the top has snapped off. Between that tree and the bridging is another tree that has toppled over into the lake. What you see here is the base of the tree and the root structure. I wouldn't be surprised if the little island the crew has just walked around is formed from material caught up in the branch structure of this fallen tree.
