Found this shot in a set of photos I took while in South Florida last September. Don't even remember taking it but I kind of like it.

    Nice! Glad those clouds showed up to give the image more depth.

    Thanks guys. I remembered where I took this. It was at the end of Black Point Marina in South Florida. We were heading out, in the early morning, on my good buddies boat. The place itself is not that striking but the 3 trees with the clouds in the backdrop drew my eye. I didn't remember taking the photo because shortly after, I we ended up at a sand bar and drank quite a lot of beer.

    Clouds, calm water, reflections, great composition... What's not to like? Awesome image that would look great on the wall.

    Very nice shot. When they're clumped up, those mangroves are probably one of the most impenetrable obstacles known to man.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks Tom. You're not kidding about the mangroves. I've been up close to them.

    Thanks! The clouds they get in South Florida are frequent and crazy awesome. Sometimes I wish we had those storms come through California.

    Thinking about printing this one. I need to print more of my images. I don't do so enough.
