Trees, median, Nocatee

We have a different kind of Winter light here in North Florida. It is low and on a slant, but is much warmer than northern Winter light. I have recently spent late afternoons in Nocatee, a huge planned development that straddles the county line between us and Jacksonville proper. As would be expected, the economic downturn had a huge effect on the sales and building of homes. This is just starting to change. The infrastructure, roads and landscaping were factored in and are done so there is a vast area covered with brand new roads, but no people. It is a little eerie on a December afternoon to be able to stand in the middle of a new four lane road and photograph the trees in the median with no worries about traffic. I saw two cars in an hour. The light was grand.
