Where do you shoot?

Whenever I see flora/fauna/macro photos I wonder where the images where taken and what kind of natural opportunities surround the photographer. I use aerial imagery (bing maps/google earth) to find a lot of my new locations and am apt at using them to locate small ponds and wetlands. I think it would be cool if people uploaded an aerial of there favorite place to photograph along with an explanation as to what makes that area so great.

My favorite place is Dune Rd. which runs along the much of the east end's south shore, but specifically from Cupsogue County Park to Shinnecock County Park West. This road is bordered by the Moriches/Shinnecock Bay on the north and the Atlantic Ocean on the south with lots of areas to turn off the main road. While there are some heavily developed areas, much of the area is owned by the Town or County.

At each end of the road lies an Inlet which in the winter are flush with seals and sea birds that have come down for the winter. In the summer the bays are teeming with all sorts of wading birds, shore birds and raptors. The best part is it's only a few miles from my house. The worst part is it was built at sea level, so it floods often

Luke this is a great idea! And I wish I still lived on LI (sometimes) when I see places like this. I'm going to try and do the same with some of my places to shoot
