Everglades National Park, Florida, USA. I was photographing some alligators that had gathered at a watering hole, when a woman asked me if this one was real - I had been looking past the area below me. Assuring her it was real - big - I put my camera over the fencing to get this photo. Big Al was too large to capture with my 24-70mm lens, so imagine another five feet of tail, totaling about sixteen feet in length. His interest was not in my taking his photo, rather he was warming up in the sun.
