Another Look At A Louisiana Swamp From Within
Uploaded: July 21, 2008
A colorful Northeast Louisiana Swamp. The swamps and bayous up here in the Northeast seem much more colorful and full of life than I remember the swamps and bayous down south to be.

Very cool capture...are there critters and gators in there too? #964987Bill Knaps July 21, 2008
Yes some very large gators in this part of the swamp Shelly. Luck seems to always be with me, but I would love a gator shot in the wild here or in my bayou shots. Bill #6210555Robyn A. Terrell July 21, 2008

Thank all of you for your nice comments and your support. I appreciate it very much. Avril I was on foot. A boot cannot go in that swamp. Water is too shallow and too many cypress knees (Roots) sticking up. Bill #6213381Daniella Puente July 22, 2008

This is so fantastic, Bill! You know, it reminds me, when I was going to school in New Orleans, I was amazed at how tropical it seemed--the weather of course, and the sounds of the birds, and all the vegetation. That's one thing I loved the most. This wonderful photo brings back good memories; thanks! #6227605Kathleen K. Parker July 24, 2008
Yes, your bayous/swamps look better than ours down here in New Orleans...well, BY New Orleans. Really your compositions are wonderful. The colors, light, textures...all superb, Bill.Bill Knaps July 24, 2008
