Okefenokee

In going through my Florida photos for yesterday’s post, I ran into this one I had completely forgot about. It is actually just over the Florida border into Georgia’s Okefenokee Swamp (Ya gotta love that name!).

 

The one thing that strikes me with again seeing this amazing reflection is the enormous amount of sky present. Living my whole life in the west I am never far from the mountains that actually give me a sense of peace. I actually feel a little weirdly vulnerable in flat spaces, almost as if needing the walls of a fortress to keep me safe.

 

We are so much a product of where we exist. My wife who is from rolling hills Iowa worried about moving to Oregon because she thought the mountains and forests would give he claustrophobia and only relaxed when she discovered that the Willamette Valley is mostly farmland with lots of sight distance. I love going to places far away but there is comfort in home.
