Night Owl - HSS
We took our time going through the swamp mainly to try and spot an owl. We have seen an owl almost all the times we have been there, but we thought maybe it wouldn't happen this time. We stopped at one of the last benches to take a water break and I looked up high in the trees and there he was. He was very high in the cypress trees. Cypress trees, relatives of the redwoods tower up to 130 feet into the sky and often exceed 20ft in girth. They are estimated to be at least 700years old. Corkscrew is host to the earths largest remaining forest of old growth Cypress trees. Needless to say this is very cropped and there was not much of a sky, so I added a sunset sky for the background and lots of sliding for detail.
