###&%^*~,¨ ALTHOUGH THEY WILL LOG VIDEO, NO CALL ¨,~*^%&###

#%^*,¨¨¨¨¨ FOLIAGE. THEIR LIGHT FINDS THE GAPS ¨¨¨¨¨,*^%#
###&%^*~,¨ BETWEEN THE LEAVES, CASTING RAYS ¨,~*^%&###
###&%^*~,¨ THROUGH THE WET AIR, PLAYING OVER MY ¨,~*^%&###

###&%^*~,¨ AS TO BE UNABLE TO MOVE - THEY WILL ¨,~*^%&###
#%%****~,¨ STAY IN THE PATH OF THE RAILMAKER, ¨,~****%%#
