Swamp Thing

Why swamp thing? This part of Champions Gate, and northward for a couple of miles, is known as the Davenport Swamp. I've noticed lately that the thickness of the wooded area seems to be subsiding. You can see many dead or dying trees, as you can see in this photo as well. According to the Master Plan for Champions Gate, I don't believe this area will be developed, but the development around it must be having this affect on the swamp.

This is another sunrise shot from October 4, 2008.
