Description
Have you ever wondered what Florida looked like centuries ago? When it was just nature? That's what you feel like you're seeing when you visit Myakka River State Park in Sarasota, Florida. It's like walking back in time. Picture a large expanse of prairies and fields surrounded by gigantic live oak trees draped in Spanish moss. You drive under a canopy of these trees as you go through the park. Alligators and water birds walk along the shores of a large lake and the Myakka River. It's a place that feels like it's far away from civilization. It's a wonderful place to get away from it all and just enjoy nature and wildlife.
This is a pair of large live oak trees in Myakka River State Park. A line of these trees surround a huge prairie of yellow wildflowers in the spring. I just love how these two trees come together and frame this incredible view in the distance!
I wanted to capture the entire scene so I took 9 photos at different angles and exposures, and stitched them together to create an HDR panorama. This also helped me capture all the details in the bright and dark areas. It created a very high resolution file that can be printed large.
Myakka River State Park is one of the largest and oldest parks here in the Gulf Coast of Florida with 37,000 acres at the Myakka River near Sarasota, Bradenton, and Myakka City. The park is known for its wildlife and alligators and its boardwalk into the river which is good for birding.
