Description
It was really hot out. Florida heat, hot and muggy. Went out to practice some photography techniques in a place that is usually flooded with water. However after a very dry winter, the water was nearly gone. Beautiful boardwalks cross the marsh and wetlands, but to day, they felt like long hot desert roads. The sun was beating down on us and the heat was reflecting on the long wood planks.
Looking for something interesting to photograph, this turned out to be my favorite shot of the day. We walked down below the boardwalk which normally would have been covered in water with the potential of running into a gator. But not this day, I don't know where everyone had gone to, but there was very little wildlife, just a few birds and a couple lizards. Stepping under the boardwalk, Timo discovered this interesting scene. I loved it! Old weathered wood, tall grass and cool shade. Awesome place to just sit for a moment and cool off. Felt kind of like a kid under there in my secret hiding place.
