Mangrove Moonrise
by Paul Marcellini
These Red Mangroves grow in a transition zone from freshwater to salt. This was a great night with Barred Owls calling all around me and not another person for miles.
Equipment: Canon 20d, Canon 10-22

    Is this the Everglades? I didn’t know mangroves grew there.

  4. Paul Marcellini Says:

    Thanks for the comments,

    Pauline, it is the Everglades and the Everglades actually houses the largest system of continuous mangroves in the world.

    Fabulous photo, I can almost smell it. The sky is extraordinary with the rays spreading out liek a radial from the horizon. Was the sun setting below the horizon there? Beautiful moonrise…. Ah… wish I was there….So peaceful… homey rather than creepy for me! Thanks for the taste of the sunshine state.

  11. Laurie Laurie Says:

    Unusually beautiful!

    I wonder if anyone will get a shot of the Blue Moon on New Year’s Eve?

  12. Katherine Lee Strassburg Says:

    Sky-blue-pink is one of my favorite colors! Wonderful shot, and unlike most Everglades photos I’ve seen.
    Laurie–Central lower Michigan was socked in with clouds and snow-flurries on New Year’s Eve, but the moon was marvelous on the 30th and again on the 1st, with stars and corona–my camera equipment couldn’t even begin to capture it!
