Purple Sky
This is not your everyday Florida swamp, it is the wilderness of the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) at Cape Canaveral. Across the lake you can see the legendary launch pad 39A, where the Apollo rockets took off to the moon.
Shooting this before sunrise was not a trivial risk. The area is crawling with alligators, and in fact the reason why the foliage in this spot is low enough to reveal the lake, is that we're standing right on an alligator bridge (where they cross from one lake to another). Still, the purple pre-dawn sky was worth it.
