Location and Information
A couple of miles outside of Newport, North Carolina a large mill pond sits next to Mill Creek road. The property is privately owned so access is limited. But there are some lovely views to be found along the roadside. Lovely Bald Cypress trees rise out of the dark, tannin water of the small lake. On a calm day the water takes on a mirrored surface, reflecting the surrounding trees and the sky overhead. I would very much love to explore this body of water with my kayak and camera. Alas, I do not have any contact information for the owners.

I love the reflection one. Nothing beats that on a calm day! The cypress trees are really well captured as well, although I think the shore line detracts a bit. Wade out in the water next time!
I’ve only had a short visit to NC, so now adding it to my travel list. Cypress so different from our NW cedars!

For whatever reason, I have always thought cypress trees are just cool to look at. One of these days, I really ought to paint some!
The reflections in the top images are stunning. I have never seen cypress trees in person but would love to so one day.
