What I like about this take is the subdued light and coloring....it adds a lot of interest to the walkway and intimacy with the vegetation. Fremiet

Thank you. Actually, aside from the heat this summer, this is one of my favorite areas to go walk around on the weekends...it is a local reserve which is a part of the larger Everglades grasslands ecosystem. The boardwalk is wide enough for 3 people across, so there isn't much danger in leaving off the rails, and it does make it feel less intrusive on the natural surroundings.

Justin, I like the mossy overhang on the trees...and the way this walkway leads into the swamp without railings. It feels intimate and inviting. Nice shot. MFC

Justin, I was referring to "brr" kind of cool, since in all the very hot places I've lived areas like this with lots of trees (mainly botanical gardens) seem to provide a welcome respite from the heat everywhere else. Didn't realize this was in the middle of a swamp! Hats off to you, then, for braving that heat and capturing such a nice image! Helen

Thanks all. Helen...which type of 'cool' are you referring to? It was cool (as in awesome, neato) in there, but it was FAR from cool (as in brrr) in there! Temps have been running mid-90s, humidities at 90% and above, and that is a walkway over a swamp! I think I sweated a Super Big Gulp per minute out there, and my camera kept fogging up! :)

Looks like it might be very cool in there.. Nice shot! Helen

That one bright plank in the pathway really grabs my attention. I like the subdued colors.

Very pretty pathway - I like the composition and the textures in the trees!
