Thin Canvas - Holy Spirit River Deep Forest explorations - AI Paint style by Rosseau- El Yunque rainforest - Nikon D850
This is the amazing huge LANDLSIDE in the early start of the river - a set of large boulders - completely part of nature with leaves, moss and even Sierra Palms on some of them, with roots going downwards. The river stream flows below these boulders and later reappears. Not easy to cross - used a rope and some tricks.
WHY AI and Rosseau?
We found that Henri Rosseau (French, 1844–1910) painting style does capture the ESSENTIALS of the forest - thus making them FAR BETTER than the original prints.
For the last decades I documented the forest with mu camera, but was never happy with many of the images since the reality is that the rainforest is dark since the canopy captures most of the sunlight... and it is such a thick forest that most can not understand the raw images. I was VERY surprised that at last I found a way to share these fabulous places, untouched by the so called 'civilization' ...
HOW RIVERS START:
In this explorations of 21 days (3 separate weeks) the focus was and is HOW RIVERS START - how the forest protects this terrain from erosion and drought - keeping them always humid.
In this section the river is wider and calm, with lots of sand and underground streams - but soon after the large boulders appear and it all changes...
Note there are not large boulders - means the erosion level here is low since the amount of water is small since we are way upstream near its origins.
But the water channel is much wider, and we see in the river a lot of decomposing branches and trees. Many roots are visible seeking the rivers water,
In this image we see the river stream barely starting - it has a tinge of orange due to organic decomposition - most of the rainwater flows below masses of sand. Note how the forest is dense and dark.
These are historic pictures taken in 3 weeks of explorations for 21 days from 2014-2015 - before Hurricane Maria decimated the forest canopy in 2017 with 140 MPH winds for a whole day...
