Surface Surveillance

by Linn Smith

Lake Jessup lies just 20 minutes from Orlando, in the heart of Seminole County. It is a beautiful 100,000 year old lake that over 10,000 gators call home. Since the lake comprises almost 10,000 acres and has a circumference of 28 miles there is plenty of room for these gators. It is a wonderful opportunity to see one of these reptiles in its natural habitat as it surveys the surface of the water.

Equipment: Canon EOS 5D

Like this a lot, like the contrast of colour it also portrays stealth to me.

The clean, calm water seems very inviting but I won’t be getting near it any time soon… The croc pic is superb!
