Not to sound insane but I am genuinely so obsessed with swamps in the south. I just saw a picture of the Great Dismal Swamp. There are no words.

I feel like this isn’t real like sharing these images with y’all I feel like somebody’s gonna pop into my inbox and tell me these are Photoshopped or from a video game or something and I’m just a fucking idiot. Can you believe this. Seriously can you believe shit like this exists or maybe doesn’t because I am still struggling to comprehend the legitimacy of these images CAN YOU BELIEVE?

Fun fact: from the 17th-19th century, there existed scattered communities of a few thousand runaway slaves, Native Americans, and criminals on the lam who sought refuge in the Great Dismal Swamp because the terrain was way too tough to navigate for cops, slave catchers, etc.
