expanded night exploration of bukit brown which includes a few significant graves. the saddest one was the grave of a 15yo girl. her father's lament on the tomb made me weep


bookmark to watch later...

found a young companion willing to walk through the dark woods on a moonless night. i don't need lighting as long as the canopy cover does not exceed 90%. this particular trail has orbs of light that can't be seen during the day or when torchlights are used. the path will be faintly lighted by city glow reflecting off the clouds onto the ground. i think it's going to be a romantic walk! i wasn't bitten by mosquitoes here so she will hopefully be fine

after taking dark exploration to a higher level of difficulty by avoiding lighting, i learnt the difference between forest and jungle. jungles exist in our forest. it's the worse and most tiring terrain to cross. you can literally be stuck in a jungle by ground, waist and head level vines that cannot be broken with your hands. there are also sections with very soft ground. to compound the difficulty, you might get bitten by ants and mosquitos or be pierced by sharp thorns

the other thing i found are bioluminescent mushrooms. the size ranges from 2mm to 10cm. you can spot millimeter sized mushrooms while walking in a forest without using lights, whereas it's 100% impossible to find them if you need to use lights to shine your way through the forest. forget about searching for them in the day. impossible!

another thing you will see are eyes in the dark. moving eyes. it's unnerving for the uninitiated. just imagine you are alone, far from civilization, in a dark forest and you saw eyes looking at you from dark sections of the jungle. note i use jungle here, not forest. because these eyes prefer lurking in dense vegetation, and not forested or open air sections. you won't see eyes in the day. only at night!

dark exploration can feel strangely cold even in such warm & humid weather. every time i walk in dark forests or graveyards, it feels strangely cold and damp. the night temperature is warm. there is sweat. walking around takes energy. but you feel coldness in your body. some things in this world cannot be seen but you can feel it. i only felt it in these places. the coldness and dampness is different from being in an air conditioned room
