Sunrise through Red Mangroves

Early morning light on the waves gently washing in through the red mangroves at Blue Hole Nature Reserve in Castle Harbour. The roots of these plants arch out into the sand and silt to support themseves. The black mangroves are notable for their roots which grow vertically up out of the sand like snorkels, and essentially carry out that function. Properly, they're called pneumatophors. I'll show a photograph of them sometime.
