Storm over the Everglades

The old Alligator Alley Road - or Highway 41


These beautiful sun ray came up after the sun disappeared


Have you ever seen a cloud like this? It looks more like a U.F.O. for me


It was of course NOT a U.F.O. even I would love to see one, though


It was dark already like in the night - but it was only around 3 p.m.


Can you imagine how high this wall of clouds were and to see this strange formation of that little cloud coming up - it was just a overwhelming feeling and very exciting


A tropical storm silhouette


The last time we drove trough the Everglades to Naples, FL a BIG storm came up. Immediately, the sky got dark, scary lightning flashed and then, the rain poured. In seconds the road was flooded and we had to stop and wait until the worst was over.

Then it was a magic game of mother nature, fantastic to watch, something I will never forget!



There is only one Everglades in the World.

Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. The area boasts rare and endangered species, such as the American crocodile, Florida panther, and West Indian manatee. It has been designated an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance, in recognition of its significance to all the people of the world.

Shrimp Boats and a Rainbow

Shrimp boats in the harbor, waiting for the next day work


Last sunbeams over the harbor region in Apalachicola


The sun is gone and there is only tranquility left over the water


The evening comes slow over the bay area


This picture was made two hours ago the others above - after a big short rain was a wonderful, huge rainbow to see in the sky


These are my last pictures from Apalachicola. Soon I will post more from another destination from my travels in Florida. Stay tuned - and enjoy!

Shrimp Boat and Elvis Presley







Song of the Shrimp Lyrics

Artist(Band):
Elvis Presley


(Words & music by Bennett - Tepper)


I saw three shrimp in the water,
two were old and gray

I swam a little bit closer and ..
I heard the third one say


Goodbye mama shrimp,
papa shake my hand

Here come the shrimp boat for to take me to Louisian'

Here come the shrimp boat for to take me to Louisian'


He showed his mama and papa, the shrimp newspaper he read

An invitation to all the shrimp and this is what it said


Free ride, New Orleans, stay in grand hotel

Meet Creole gal who help you come out of your shell

Meet Creole gal who help you come out of your shell


If I should live to be ninety, I will never forget
The little shrimp and the song he sang as he jumped into the net


Goodbye mama shrimp,papa shake my hand

Here come the shrimp boat for to take me to Louisian'

Here come the shrimp boatfor to take me to Louisian'

Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'

Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'

Apalachicola - Evenings lights in the harbor










Evening lights in the harbor in a little rain in Apalachicola in north Florida's Panhandle. The birds were fighting for their food by the old shrimp boats.
