So what is a bog anyway? Is it a lake? A swamp? A marsh? A farm? Or just a funny sounding word we made up? Actually, a bog is an area of soft, marshy ground, usually near wetlands. Bogs, marshes, swamps, fens, and peatlands are all various types of wetland habitat.

A bog is a wet land, but this wetland is a very deceptive place A bog is a wet land, but this wetland is a very deceptive place. Although it can look (and sometimes feel) like land (perhaps with some small ponds or pools of water dotting the land, as well); in fact, it is more like a spongy "floating carpet" of land. Underneath the surface, the bog is full of water--about 90-95% water.

Panel painting A polyptych (pronounced /ˈpɒlɪptɪk/ POL-ip-tik, from the Greek polu- "many" and ptychē "fold") generally refers to a painting (usually panel painting) which is divided into multiple sections, or panels. The terminology that follows is in relevance to the number of panels integrated into a particular piece of work: "diptych" describes a two-part work of art; "triptych" describes a three-part work; "tetraptych" describes 4 parts; "pentaptych" describes 5 parts; "hexaptych" describes 6 parts; "heptaptych" describes 7 parts; and "octaptych" is the term used for an eight-part, or eight-panel, work of art.
