Return to the Everglades 2025 – PART TWO

I went back to the Everglades for a couple days. This trip wasn’t very successful for several reasons. Usually before making a trip, I try to get some rest before I go. This time I wasn’t able to do that and after driving all night, I wasn’t able to get there to capture a sunrise. I did walk some trails, and looked for other areas to photograph and found some places that looked interesting. At sunset, I set up to photograph an area near Royal Palm. I wanted to capture a colorful scene over the swamp along the Old Ingraham Highway, which is nothing more than a narrow dirt road.

I stayed the night within the park so I could get up early in the morning and photograph a sunrise over Long Pine Key Lake. It was disappointed not to have any clouds, but this marks a place for me to come back to. Better luck next time.
