El Yunque - Solo Agua (Just Water).
Before I go on, please read something about the "Only Tropical Rain Forest" in the United States.
El Yunque National Forest. It is the only tropical rain forest in the United States. The forest is commonly known as El Yunque. The second-tallest mountain within El Yunque is also named El Yunqe. El Yunque National Rainforest is located on the slopes of the Sierra de Luquillo Mountains and it encompasses 28,000 acres (43.753 mi² or 113.32 km²) of land, making it the largest block of public land in Puerto Rico. El Toro, the highest mountain peak in the forest rises 1,065 meters (3,537 ft) above sea level. Ample rainfall (over 200 inches a year in some areas) creates a jungle-like setting - lush foliage, crags, waterfalls and rivers are a prevalent scene. The forest has a number of trails from where the jungle-like territory's flora and fauna can be appreciated.
It's also important to know that El Yunque in Puerto Rico is one of the Finalist to the new 7 wonders of the world.
After giving you so much information about our Tropical Rain Forest you can imagine all the photo-opportunities you have there, I'm a Macro and Bird photo shooting lover , but this last Sunday I decided to only take pictures of water, Just Water, so I literally immerse myself into the rivers and waterfalls of el Yunque and after half a day of having fun I want to share this work with you.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Among the 28 finalists to become one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, El Yunque showcases an encounter with wild life and nature. A plethora of tropical trees and bushes, exotic flowers, waterfalls, and the sounds of the birds, tree frogs, and the rushing water, make it charming and almost magical.
