Misty cypress swamp with Spanish moss draped from ancient trees reflected in dark, still water

Cypress trees (Taxodium distichum) rise from a swamp, their trunks partially submerged in dark, reflective water. Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) hangs from branches, creating a ghostly appearance. The water is still, mirroring the tree trunks and moss. Sunlight filters through, casting shadows and highlights. The setting is serene, with bare branches extending upward, and some new leaves emerging, indicating the early stages of foliage growth. The overall scene is tranquil and atmospheric.
