Red flowers like fallen angels -
Rode bloemen als gevallen engels

Location: 
Swamp Forest,
Nimbokrang,
Sentani,
West Papua,
Indonesia
Description: 

This picture was made in the swamp forest, close to Jamil's house in Nimokrang. In some areas a vine species was abundantly flowering. A full-grwon vine holds thousands of red fleshy flowers, which attracted a lot of parrots. At the end of my stay, and after some heavy rainfall, most of the flowers had dropped down. The forest floor colored completely red, giving the forest an enchanted aspect. When taken a closer look at the flowers, they look like fallen angels or fallen birds.
