FLORIDA TRAIL © 1994Ocala National Forest, FL
The Florida Trail, a designated hiking route, extends from North Florida south to the Big Cypress National Preserve. I took this image while photographing the seven wilderness areas of Florida for The Wilderness Society and the Forestry Department. The Florida Trail intersects a portion of these unspoiled lands. As we hiked along the trail, I saw this scene and couldn’t resist taking a photograph, as I felt it evoked a sense of heading toward a figurative light.
