Just your typical day in the life of this jungle girl. Nothing special here. Not sure why I am even showing this to you guys. ;)

Thanks! :D

I thought the second one might be more appealing, but I would still be interested to hear why YOU think that is. (Don't hold back on the first one. I can take some critique.)

Aaaaand, there's more...

I like that area very much and you don't need to travel into some jungle to experience that.
This is a small channel at the coast when it's low tide. All that reed is growing at the slightly higher parts of the area and the channel itself is nothing but soft mud.

Alas, i have never met her when i did visit these places :cry:

I'm sorry, but unless that area you are referring to is in Central Africa I think chances are rather slim. Then again Shetani does not tell me about all her travels, so it's not absolutely impossible she might turn up on another continent sometime.

Is the mud in that channel as clingy as this? (see image added below)

There are areas where i just do an easy mudwalk over solid or just ankle-deep mud and two steps later i hit the soft spot and end in a real mess up to my armpits. When i'm finally able to extricate myself my boots or my waders or the rest of my gear is covered in a multiple inches-thick layer of grey goo.
Sidenote: And no, mudflats are not quicksand, it's fine sediment of various consistency/ingredients that accumulates over long periods of time over a solid bottom. Yes, in places it can become "quick", but that is much rarer than you think.


Your pictures are pretty much the same thing, only difference is that the stuff over here is just grey and not brown... ;)

Uhm, it's actually an animation, not a picture. ;) And perhaps more to the point, what exactly are you requesting? Higher resolution? Different angle?

Well, I can tell you she pretty much always goes about barefoot. The soil tends to be rather soft where she lives. ;)

So, on to the next... ooh... look! Nice flowers! Though Shetani does not seem to care about those. In fact I dare say she looks rather pissed. Anyone care to guess why that is?
