23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Mature woods overrun by vines in Caumsett State Park.

The vines, some unbelievably huge, in both width and length, dominate a large part of the woods west of Fishermans Drive. Along with the vines, trees are so awesome. And it greatly warms my heart to see that aliens feel the same way, as demonstrated by the one mostly hidden behind a tree.
