The Making of the Image, Miller Landing Road 4<\/h2>\n

Miller Landing Road is a picturesque canopy road in Tallahassee. It’s a fairly common destination for me, as I’ve scouted at and created a narrative photograph at Miller Landing on Lake Jackson<\/span>. I’ve photographed both landscapes in Phipps Park and action shots of the horses<\/a><\/span><\/span> at the horse trials held in the park. I’ve also taken some landscapes of Miller Landing Road, though outside of the summer season. I wanted to take some photographs of the road while the trees were at their most luscious.<\/p>\n

One day, after it had rained, I did just that. I parked and walked Miller Landing Road, photographing along the way. I created a bit of a series of images of the canopy road.<\/p>\n

In the landscape photograph, Miller Landing Road 4, the canopy road meanders beneath trees draped in Spanish moss and covered in resurrection ferns. The overall scene is green and lush.<\/p>\n

Miller Landing Road, A Canopy Road in Tallahassee<\/h2>\n

Miller Landing Road is a canopy road in Tallahassee, Florida<\/span>. It is on the north side of Tallahassee in Leon County and runs mostly east-west from North Meridian Road on the east end. Its western terminus dead-ends at Miller Landing on Lake Jackson. The north side of the road is undeveloped and a large portion of the southern side of the road is also undeveloped.<\/p>\n

A section of Miller Landing Road borders 670-acre Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park, home of the Red Hills Horse Trials. Another section of the road borders homes on the shore of Lake Jackson.<\/p>\n

Miller Landing Road is paved and somewhat more highly-traveled than the unpaved canopy roads in Tallahassee, with most traffic being from the residential areas along the road or from visitors to either the landing or the park.<\/p>\n

This canopy road in Tallahassee features a unique canopy of numerous skinny trees, covered in resurrection ferns and draped in Spanish moss, that overhang the roadway.<\/p>\n

Miller Landing (also called Millers Landing) has a boat ramp and is a popular sunset viewing destination, as the landing looks west across Lake Jackson.<\/p>\n

Lake Jackson<\/h2>\n

Lake Jackson is a 4,000 acre, shallow lake, with an average depth of around six feet. The lake is deeper in the two major sinkholes it contains – Porter Sink and Lime Sink. A unique feature of the lake is that it occasionally drains into the Floridan aquifer via these sinkholes, dramatically lowering the water level.<\/p>\n

Lake Jackson is a popular fishing lake and it is a Designated Florida Paddling Trail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
