Once There Was a Way...
I spotted this old wooden walkway last year in the backwaters of the lake when the vegetation was thick and impossible to access. You can imagine the same spot in full growth and see the lilies growing densely beneath the surface. I didn't even realize at the time there was access at all. Regardless, I went back and happily discovered that I could actually get there in the canoe for now. The mystery remains, however, as there is no evidence as to what purpose this structure served. It starts from nowhere on the left and then trails off into nowhere on the right, surrounded at all points by impenetrable swamp. Nevertheless, it had to serve a function at some point, now probably forever forgotten.
I struggled mightily trying to decide which version to post, the standard or watercolor, liking both almost equally, and ultimately opted for the latter primarily due to the "washed-out" effect which seemed to suit. Seen to best effect larger.
