As the water levels in the lower parts of Arkansas continue to drop back to more normal levels you can find many great swamp scenes that are easy to get to and within just a few minutes of the bank. Look for the best light at the beginning and end of the day as always, and be on the lookout for snakes - I hear they like to drop into your boat from overhead limbs!

Snakes, I hate snakes! But the possibility of facing a few of them to get a shot like this might be doable. Beauty Tim.

How cool Tim, minus the snakes of course. The glow in this is awesome.

Absolutely fantastic. I just don't think it's possible for that National Geographic photographer to have captured anything more spectacular than this.

Excellent. And with a moody tone.

well worth the risk of snakes, beautiful scene, the reflections through the glow really add to it
