The wetland featured in this image was created during the spring of 2008 when unusually heavy rains flooded swales of the Holla Bend Wildlife Refuge. The curved nature of the wetland becomes especially clear when the image is enlarged. The long curving row of trees in the background comprises one of the numerous ridges present at the refuge. The row serves as a windbreak in reducing soil erosion at the refuge.
