I took this photo back in 2003. This part of the swamp has a lot of history behind it. Native Americans camped and hunted here. There were some historic battles such as the Seminole Indian wars of the mid 1800's. I haven't been back there in ages. I kind of miss the SLURP! my boots would make with every step as I trudged through the muck. Yes, there's plenty of snakes and alligators here as well, along with monster spider webs. :)

You handled the lighting well in this one Alex, this kind of place I would be interested in but wary of the creatures that loom.

I like the water reflections, but I think I would be watching each step I take. Well done, Alex.

You miss that slurp? It is bad enough walking in the snow but in Florida you don't have that problem. Nice shot of the swamp in good lighting.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

Would make a great scene in a movie!...Excellent camera work with the sun rays glowing through those trees, and onto the water

An interesting environment for explorers Alex, lol. Wonderful image however.

It is a beautiful place with the sun coming in through the trees Alex. I would imagine there are mosquitoes along with those gators - two things I can do without on a camping trip. Very nice presentation.

Hi Sue. Actually, the mosquitoes are not that bad. They are there but not like the north toward the end of summer!

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967
