Still in the protected forest area in the center of Banda Aceh, I managed to walk until I arrived at a place that became the center of discussion of this protected forest, namely the mangrove forest tour. However, it was not easy for me to get to this mangrove tour because this protected forest is very large, so most likely I have walked for more than an hour until I actually arrived at this mangrove forest tour. I did not expect to find this place because the condition of the forest is very large, making it very difficult for me to find the existence of this mangrove forest, but luck was still on my side because I managed to walk until I managed to penetrate this mangrove forest.
The first thing I knew was when I saw a sign that said mangrove forest tour pointing to the right, so I kept following the road until I actually arrived at the mangrove forest.
The atmosphere which was initially rather dark because it was covered by large trees now turned bright again because there were no large trees growing around this mangrove forest but only the mangrove trees themselves. The atmosphere felt more pleasant when I saw the very wide swamp which was overgrown with so many mangrove trees.
In addition, in this mangrove forest there is also a wooden bridge that can be used by visitors to explore or pass through this mangrove forest so that with this wooden bridge visitors can do many activities around this forest such as taking pictures, capturing every beautiful moment, and of course enjoying the natural beauty offered by this mangrove forest.
And when I was in the mangrove forest area, I just realized that this place was located at the edge of this protected forest and I could see this because there was a very large and long fence not far from the location of the mangrove forest.
I can't wait to explore this mangrove forest and of course the only way I can do it is by crossing the bridge that has been provided.
And when I walked on this bridge I saw that this bridge was built with many bends, most likely the intention of making this winding bridge is so that visitors can walk longer while enjoying the natural atmosphere of the mangrove forest itself, because if the position of the bridge is built straight then the distance will be closer and most likely many beautiful things can be missed.
How do I express my feelings about what I feel about the beauty of this forest, the atmosphere is so calm, there is no noise from motorbikes or other technological devices, all I hear is the sound of trickling water, the sound of the wind and of course the sounds of nature that can calm the heart.The sunny weather plus the cool breeze made the atmosphere even more pleasant even though I realized that I was alone at that time and as far as the eye could see I didn't see anyone around this mangrove forest, not even the officers. I felt this happiness because of the silence and loneliness but I managed to be accompanied by the beauty of nature which was truly extraordinary.
Look at the reflection of the mangrove trees on the water, isn't it a very beautiful sight? Even though I haven't walked far, the beauty of this place makes me feel very satisfied and very happy.
And in order to save time, I immediately walked and continued along the path on this bridge. The winding bridge made me feel like this journey was very far, but it was a very profitable thing because with this fairly far distance, I was able to capture a lot of the beauty around me.
And what makes this place even more interesting is when we walk on this bridge we can also touch or pick mangrove leaves that have grown near the bridge. And of course the further I walk, the more beautiful the view I can get.
The water in this swamp also looks very calm so that the reflection of the mangrove trees looks very clear and it is very beautiful. But when I was observing the beauty of this place suddenly a thought crossed my mind about how the condition of this bridge is during holidays which of course will be very crowded with visitors, surely people will walk across this bridge while jostling and it is rather dangerous considering this bridge does not have side railings, and I also had time to ask myself whether there was an incident of visitors falling into this swamp Lol, maybe this sounds very ridiculous but it is normal considering there are no friends to talk to.
I continued walking while capturing every beauty around me, until I didn't realize I had almost reached the end of the mangrove forest.
Do you know, in this swamp there are a lot of big fish, and I know that because there are a lot of fish that can be seen playing in the water, and the main reason why there are so many fish in this swamp is because anglers are prohibited from fishing here Lol.
And this is the last turn of this bridge, and after that I will immediately leave this mangrove forest, but before really leaving this mangrove forest I took the time to capture a few more pictures.
And after I felt satisfied capturing all the beauty offered by this mangrove forest, I immediately walked and crossed this bridge which indicated that I would soon leave this mangrove forest.
Well, those are some pictures and stories from me in this post, I really hope that this post can provide entertainment for all of my friends. All of these pictures are purely my own, I took this picture using an Infinix 10 Pro cellphone and edited this picture using the Lightroom application.
