This is a Hurricane Wilma early bird special.
Duane in the spotlight.
Wail on, Skydog!
UPDATE
Reader Jordan thinks this photo session might have taken place at Lake Bradford in Tallahassee. This pic that includes the stone picnic table with the dock in the background looks especially interesting to me. Jordan sees other similarities as well. What do y'all T-Town people think?


Jordan writes:Of the two pictures, the one on top (with them in the canoe): the houses in the background/tree line just appear strikingly similar to the South-West side of Lake Bradford.
The one on the bottom (assuming that both pictures were taken at the same location) is really the one that caught most of the staff's eyes. The pine tree on the right, paired with the Oak on the left, kind of gave a frame of reference for us to go out to the facility and look for "that shot." I believe that in the background (on the left) you will see the Dock that used to be here (was taken down 2 years ago), and the building just to the right of the Dock is roughly the same size, and at the same angle as our existing Recreation Hall when looked at from the direction we believe that the shot was taken from. Also, the bushes just to the right of that building are hiding another (way in the background) building which is now our waterfront office. And the picnic tables they are sitting at (while possibly generic) have the same structure, benches, and detail (in the edges of the table) as our tables out here, which have been here for 30-40 years.
Here is a link to our website that has (albeit a little dated) online, panoramic pictures of our facility. The one from the "Rez Beach" will rotate around until you see the dock and the building I am referring to. And some of the others show the tree line and Cypress Trees that are quite similar to the ones in your photos...
We are still looking/debating this issue at work (it's so much fun after all), and will continue to seek similarities. However, most of us are convinced...
Good to see Duane up this morning; I figured you might be taking a a Mulligan...

Posted by: Willard Wilson at October 26, 2005 01:49 PMGosh, I hadn't planned on anything, Willard, but I think I'll give it a shot.

always proud that the boys are from nashville. i think that explains a lot of the magic.
Posted by: richard rogers at October 26, 2005 11:16 PMWe already know for certain it's N. Florida, we're just trying to pinpoint what city exactly.
While Tennessee should certainly be proud of being Duane's birth state, Florida did all the heavy lifting.
