[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Bamboo is just so common in the rainforest of Sabah. It usually is found on the hillsides, valley floor and by the riverbank. It thrives on water and is a good indicator that the land it is on, is wet and watery.

Bamboo grove is also a favorite "incubator" for cobra. So go easy cutting across a bamboo grove. Look for a rather big "mound" of dry bamboo leaves. If you saw one, chances are it could be incubating a cache of eggs. With its mother laying wait nearby.

Be careful when setting camp near plantation which invites snakes. When you see rats, you know you are in snake country.

The capture shows the stems nicely. The composition is not as good. But it's an interesting scene and together with your note it's fine post. Thanx for sharing.

Hi Ranani , you get no sense of scale untill you see the person exiting the frame . gives a very good feel for a dark dank jungle . like the note about the cobra's thank you.
