I am a full time RVer attempting to visit all of the National Park sites. While driving a dirt road in Big Cypress National Preserve I stopped at a beautiful pond, set up my tripod and waited. I was rewarded with a large alligator who swam into the pond and decided to sunbath here. The light made him look like he was covered in metallic paint. That's why I've named this photo Aluminum Alligator.
