Almost one month ago I spent three great days enjoying the rustic and natural beauty of the tranquil Lake Blue Cypress in Florida. One of the amazing experiences we had, outside of photographing hundreds of osprey and their young and watching an alligator come up to our porch overhanging the water, was of seeing these three cottages on stilts. Currently unoccupied due to some government tomfoolery, I had the great fortune of meeting three sisters whose childhood was spent visiting with their grandfather that owned one of these great buildings. According to the sisters Erin, Ginger and Michelle, they spent their days swimming with the gators when taking their lake baths. Oh to be young and crazy again!!
Here's a quick image of the homes in their current state. Beautiful, mysterious, eerie and dilapidated. What fun must have been had in these back in the day...
