Title: Restinga Pathways.
Location: Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.
Description: The dark coloration of the water is attributed to the high concentration of humic substances. Small water flows can be observed across different sections of the restinga, resulting from subtle variations in topography. These micro-relief differences facilitate water movement between areas, forming natural pathways as illustrated in the image.
