Spanish Moss on Cypress

Gallery: 10 Years of NPNPosted April 12, 2010614 views16 comments

Shot this back in 2005, and just reprocessed for the 10 year anniversary. Shot this on the Auciila River, one of my favorite rivers to canoe. Little in life is as pretty to me as cypress trees in autumn, and especially so when they're covered in spanish moss, so I just had to shoot this. This is one of my favorites, and as been a good seller too. Please view the larger version as well.

Bill,

Beautifully elegant - and with such fine detail. Glad you posted this because I wasn't around for the original. :-)

Fabulous intimate Bill. The small version doesn't do those lovely details any justice.

The Spanish moss seems to drip from the branches. This picture just exudes 'soft and sultry.' Well done, Bill.

I have to agree, Bill. Cypress and moss in fall are about as good as it gets and this composition is a beauty. Thanks for sharing it again.
