The Natchez Trace Parkway runs for hundreds of miles through Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, and this view shows one of the wooden boardwalks laid over wet ground so that walkers could cross a cypress swamp without sinking into the water. Cypress swamps like this one hold standing water much of the year, and the trees rise from it with knobby "knees" that stick up around their bases. The Trace follows the route of an old footpath used by Native peoples and later by travelers moving goods and mail between the Mississippi River and Nashville, and modern boardwalks like this one let visitors see that wet landscape up close. The black and white tones bring out the texture of the planks and the tangle of trunks.
