The most challenging part about traveling across the state via “Alligator Alley” is just that, the gators. I quite often find myself scanning the canals like a little kid, lookin’ for gators. The designers of this speedway of sorts, in their infinite wisdom, placed very few turnoffs to actually pull over and appreciate the vast and seemingly infinite beauty of the Everglades. Having said that, you can likely envision the options I had as I crossed this little bridge and noticed a photo op. You got in! Swerve off the road as to prevent the jackass that was doing 90mph behind me from slamming into my vehicle. I then backtracked a few yards running awkwardly with the tripod and D3 bouncing into my side as the dust, dirt, and road debris from the oncoming traffic blew into my face at hurricane force. Not really the image you might have had in your mind while looking at this serene landscape, but there ya go 🙂

Gorgeous shot!! The colours are amazing. I’m sure we can all relate to your story. There’s always something worthwhile to shoot right when you can’t pull over anywhere.

Gators! It’s not a problem we get a lot of here in the south of England. Traffic – that’s quite another matter. Love the colours (that would be the British spelling I’m afraid). 🙂

Mike , nice shot, I couldnt help but to laugh at the story here, I can releate on a photo I took at night of the Madison WI skyline. The park I had to go to for the shot is notorious for ‘weirdos’ roaming around there at night…anyway, while I was balancing the tripod on some rocks in the lake, I heard people walking around behind me hiding and watching me in the woods – I felt like yelling "GET A LIFE YOU FREAKS”, but anyway I can totaly relate to your story here on more than one occassion…
