Total eclipse of the swamp?

Not quite ...

In flight north of Oasis Visitors Center

The shadow of the helicopter on the swamp is quite small,
to the point you can barely see it at all.

Cypress and pine "swamp mosaic" in February

Compare that to a cloud shadow from a relatively modest mid morning cumulus popcorn puff.

It's a welcome reprieve from piping hot sun that shines down non-stop.

It's interesting to see the tiny shadow of the helicopter. Shows how big the land is.
I love to see cloud shadows moving over the mountains. I'm sure it would be just as interesting to watch them move over the swamps.
