Picturesque Apopka

Picturesque Apopka There is a road right near us that goes from the new Hospital they are building (down the hill from my house) straight into the underbelly of Apopka.  By 'underbelly' I mean that area south of downtown that borders on a traditionally rough area of town known as South Apopka.  I have bee taking pictures on my smart phone of that area block by block in the mornings so that I can document and study what is there.  I have my daughter Michelle share the pictures to my facebook account, and then I download them onto my computer.   I figured out how to do the sharing, but I let her think that I don't know how.  That way she gets to help her dear old helpless Dad.  And, why should I do all the work anyways? I notice after a few days of downloading photos that I was getting some truly amazing pictures.  Granted I was out at dawn or shortly thereafter and was shooting in the morning light.  However, I was struck by how beautiful Apopka is and how many different places you can take incredible photographs of it.  I thought I'd share some of my photos here so you can see how Picturesque the town really is. Apopka has lakes.  It has Springs.  It has Rivers.  It has Horse Farms.  Plant Nurseries.  Cattle farms, and even Wineries.  It has lots of interesting old buildings tucked here and there.  Part of it is flat and places are downright hilly now and then.  You will find a hodge-podge of architecture representing every era reaching back before the turn of the Century.  One of the things I want to do with this area is to bring some of the architecture together to make themed areas.  Yes, much like Walt Disney might do.  There is some beautiful architecture here from all eras, and it would be easier to look at if it was all together and you didn't have to drive around like I do to see it.
