Description
You wouldn't expect to find a bald cypress swamp in the western suburbs of Chicago, but there is one. The closest natural cypress swamp is over 300 miles (500km) away in southern Illinois. The story told to me by a conservation worker is that there was a Civilian Conservation Corps camp near here in the 1930s and they planted the trees in an area that floods part of the year. I shot this on a particularly steamy morning, which I'm sure made the trees feel right at home.
