Mist II, Andasibe

Unless you were there, I cannot fairly convey the feeling of waking to this rainforest mist every morning and hearing the hooping, stretched shrills of the Indri lemurs checking in on family, vibrating every tree outwards until the entire forest is reverberating; one section calling to another.
