[edit] Poor photo

This photo was removed. It looks like a junk and rock pile. The subject of this photograph is not a swamp. The background may be. Let's find a better photograph. Enternoted 04:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I added a different photo that is hopefully more representative of a swamp. The other photo could be moved to an article on junkpiles near swamps. Enternoted 20:29, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
