Description


The cloud buildup during the summer and fall over Florida's landmass near the Gulf is spectacular. Each morning the warmth of the sun drives moisture from the soil where it condenses and forms "Florida's Mountains". I find myself continually remarking, "Just look at the clouds today." as they build to enormous heights. Here you see Indigo Pond located on the Eglin Air Force Base reservation, the largest air base in the world.

The conditions were just right for this panorama. The pond was perfectly still and the mid-afternoon clouds of summer were towering to gigantic proportions. I just happened by with my camera at the right time.

Thank you Monika and Michelle for your comments. #9678321
