Bayou Bridge
One of the coolest parts about visiting the swamps of the Southern US is that there can be a mist on the water. I've seen a number of photographs of the Bayou with misty scenes -- which certainly add to the mysterious mood of the Bald Cypress groves.
David, Willie, Carolyn and I pranced around the swamps for several days, rented kayaks from different vendors and ate lots of fried food, but it wasn't until the last morning of photographing that we finally got the misty morning we were hoping for.
The trees in this particular lake were bigger than the other trees we had spent the previous days photographing. These trees were much older. They were also a little more spread out, which both made it more difficult because we had to fight the "right" arrangement, and easier due to increased separation. When I came to this particular set of trees I couldn't help feel like they had been bridged together, with a fun creating swinging through the branches.
