Cypress domes are isolated holes …
Whereas strands are directional swales.

All the major strands are named …
Whereas none of the cypress domes are.
I sort of prefer the domes over strands because for one I like the idea of being in a no name swamp that you can’t put a pithy label on exactly where you were, thus promoting a feeling of being lost but still knowing where you are.
Plus, they are easier to walk into.

You have to trudge through a lot of trees to find the center of a strand.
Getting there isn’t always easy going.
