Fairchild Tropical Garden

I shot this in the "rain forest" section of the Fairchild Tropical Gardens, south of Coconut Grove, in Miami, FL (U.S.A.). I used the HDR feature of my Sony A55 for this shot, but I think a series of photos with a tripod would have been better, of course. Still, I think this shot captures the feel of the scene alright. There's nothing like being there though. If you've never been in a rain forest, you should definitely go to this place, if you're ever in Miami. It has a lot of the feel and experience of being in a rain forest, without the hiking or any of the biting insects and leeches.
