Cypress Swamp on Summer Evening
8 Hours of Still Water, Cicadas, and Bullfrog Chorus in a Southern Bayou

Slip into a Louisiana cypress swamp as the long summer evening settles over dark still water. Ancient bald cypresses rise from the bayou in knobby silhouette, their knees breaking the surface like small stone people. Spanish moss hangs motionless from the branches.
Cicadas hold a continuous summer drone in the canopy. Bullfrogs begin their deep, carrying calls from the shore — one answers from across the water, then another. A gator slides in with a soft splash.
An owl calls from the dense gum forest beyond. The air is hot, thick, and sweet with water lily and decay. A distant steamboat horn carries from a river miles away.
Lightning bugs begin their slow blinking through the trunks. Perfect for Southern nature lovers, those who sleep best to warm humid night sound, anyone drawn to bayou country, and listeners seeking rich atmospheric immersion. Eight hours of cypress swamp evening hold the night in warm, living water-dark.
