cypress groves
Swampy tree clusters
Cypress groves are stands of cypress trees, typically growing in wetlands or near water.
The trees' distinctive vertical trunks and feathery foliage create atmospheric landscapes associated with Southern swamps and Mediterranean cemeteries alike.
In literature and art, cypress groves often evoke melancholy, mystery, or the sacred: Spanish moss hung from the cypress grove.
The phrase suggests a place both beautiful and slightly ominous.
