Okaloacoochee Slough at Sunset

The Okaloacoochee Slough, the forest's namesake, is a 13,382 acre pristine slough that is oriented north-south through the forest. The natural systems of the Fakahatchee Strand and Big Cypress Preserve are dependent on the water supplied by the Okaloacoochee Slough. The Okaloacoochee Slough is one of the few places in south Florida in which the pre-Columbian landscape, north of the Everglades or Big Cypress National Preserve, can be observed. This unique natural system provides a large roaming area of contiguous habitat for a variety of wildlife species. The forest is home to listed, threatened, and endangered species such as the Florida panther, Florida black bear, sandhill crane, wood stork, and gopher tortoise.

Naples Pier; Tourists at Sunset

p2q_embed_object.js is not included or it is too old! Please copy this file into your html directory.

When you visit the pier to see the sunset in Naples during the height of tourist season, you are usually surrounded by dozens of visitors who are determined to capture this moment for their scrapbooks and albums. As the sun sinks, the people huddle into their family groups and snap one picture after another, until the moment that the sun disappears, when everyone applauds. This has been going on for at least the thirty years that I have been in Naples to see the winter and spring sunsets. Unfortunately, this particular sunset wasn't too compelling as far as Gulf sunsets go, but it was interesting to be there and to try my hand at a 360 degree pano. Another lesson learned...make sure to include more in the top and bottom than you need, because the warping that you have to do when stitching the photos together steals photo real estate from the top and bottom...which is why the people are mostly in the image from the neck up!

Vegetable stand and farmer. I used Quicktime and the highest quality settings and it seems to have the same resolution as the original photo. I left the circular distortion in this one as an experiment.

Naples, Fl

A rather mundane Naples Florida sunset taken from a single image. This is embedded with quicktime instead of flash, so you might be able to view it on a mobile device. The image quality seems to suffer a bit. I will tweak the settings to try to get better results at some point
