Create a brief description of a lonesome wilderness setting with several black gum trees and bald cypresses.
assistant
Several black gum trees and bald cypresses lean to one side or another, their branches caressing the swampy water and the limestone shoreline. Several of the trees are clearly very old, their massive trunks covered in knots, their branches shot through with char, while others are little more than saplings growing up amid the tall brush.
