Description

Imagine the most beautiful, historic and peaceful place in the south to relax! This is a view of Lake Dora at sunset in Mount Dora, Florida. The setting is the historic Lakeside Inn which was built in 1883. The large oak trees with spanish moss, the gazebo, and adirondack chairs make this a wonderful place to relax. In the distance are boardwalk trails through lush tropical nature. This area is full of southern charm and Old Florida.

The Lakeside Inn is the oldest continually running hotel in the state of Florida and is the last Victorian Era hotel still standing in Central Florida. It was built to accomodate tourists visiting Central Florida from the north. Mount Dora is about 40 minutes north of Orlando in Lake County. The town sits on a hill overlooking the large Lake Dora. The quaint town is known for its charming historic architecture and is called the "New England of the South". The Lakeside Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and it was saved from demolition. Its owners are dedicated to its restoration. The Lakeside Inn is in the heart of downtown Mount Dora and sits on Alexander Street next to historic train tracks that brought tourists to the area. I stayed at the Lakeside Inn, and it's full of antique furniture and historic architectural details like glass door knobs. You feel like you are walking back in time. The main building has a large veranda with rocking chairs overlooking the property facing the water. The Inn consists of five bright yellow buildings surrounding a large hillside lawn with a large pool and incredible views of the lake. A long dock sits out in the lake and was damaged in a hurricane a couple years ago. You can do a boat tour with Premier Boat Tours docked right behind the hotel.

I took 12 photos of this lake view at different exposures and angles and merged them together to create this hdr panorama. I also have another photo of this scene taken at sunset with the sun setting over the lake.
