There is a thick forest. The forest has a lot of green trees. The green color of trees (forest) looks like sea (ocean). I would like to explain green ocean? Is that means?

As it stands I would take it literally: there is a place with blue oceans and green forests (forests green is a rather poetic way of expressing this) close to each other. It sounds like part of a holiday advertisement or something. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.

	An Jiyoung  +  219886 Wed, 26 Apr 06 08:28 AM It is the title of an article. The article is about the forest which has woods and amusement parks.  When I read this sentence at first, I thought that the sentence means  there is a forest near by ocean. so I wonder what this sentence means? If it is written metaphorically, it could mean forest ocean something like that..?? An Jiyoung Articles

	Clive  +  220014 Wed, 26 Apr 06 06:00 PM Hi guys, In poetry and in writing of a poetical type, the adjective can sometimes be placed after the noun. 'The ocean blue' just means 'the blue ocean'. There's a well-known song that begins 'We sail the ocean blue . . .'.
