A recent weekend camping trip (yes, me, camping) gave me an opportunity to see a remote part of the Everglades and experience this area in a very different way.
On the southwest coast of Florida there are small islands reachable only by boat and populated mostly by mangroves and racoons. The trees are twisted and weathered from exposure to hurricanes. The night skies only show the remotest glow from the far off city lights and the stars seem close enough to touch. Sunrise and sunset was an amazing time -- sometimes with so much color that is seemed someone had cranked up the saturation in photoshop.
This photo from the trip has been selected for exhibition in the 2009 Boca Raton Museum of Art - The Art School Exhibit from March 3 through April 10, 2009. Needless to say, I am very pleased!
