but enter at your own peril: steep and slippery-sides, over 3-metres deep, submerged branches, and critters aplenty! The fig-tree atop the rock on the right has a garland wrapped around it's trunk to appease the spirits of the land (according to local animistic belief). Some say the pool-spirit's face is cast in the facing moss-covered rock (left of centre)...
Nah, I just made that last bit up, but the rock does appear to have a face with a lopsided mouth.
