Big Sunrise at Big Cypress

Taken at the western entrance to the Loop Road in Big Cypress, perhaps my favorite spot on a recent trip to the Everglades. This is one I particularly like in a larger size.

WOW! VERY cool shot. I love the soft colors and the over-sized look of the sun (with its aura).

I agree that this is a once in a life time window of light. You captured the rising warmth of the Sun burning the early morning fog. One can imagine the sound of wildlife waking up like musical instruments being adjusted prior to the concert.

Welcome to the Once in a life time shot group, we are proud to feature your photo.

Nice has a real serene feel to the shot, I have to say that Loop Rd is one of my favorite spots also. I like to hike a little on Gator Hook trail and you can't beat Sweetwater Strand when the water level is right.

This is one of those images where one if left a bit speechless. There are so many things working together in harmony to make this wonderful image. The foreground is laced with beautiful backlit orb webs. The mood and drama of the light is spectacular!! Congrats on an outstanding piece of work.

Very nicely done.
Was this taken by the rest stop, where there is a trail going in? It would be a rare day that would find me up early enough to get a photo like this... ;)
