Cedar Key By Sea
Atsena Otie Key, Florida
This image was captured in the days following an Old Florida Celebration of the Artsschedule in Cedar Key. We launched our canoe at the Cedar Key Boat Ramp and paddled 1/2 of a nautical mile to the closest (northern) beach of Atsena Otie Key, where we set up the Gigapan to capture this image. We used Nancy's longest lens with an additional 1.4x extender. Then we paddled another 2.8 nautical miles to the south beach on Seahorse Key to get Cedar Keys Lighthouse. We then shot Royal Terns on our eventful canoe trip back to Cedar Key that is described on the Royal Terns webpage.
Ceday Key has a population of over 700 residents. The first residents may have arrived 12,000 years ago. It was first mapped in 1542 by Spanish cartographers. "Modern" history began around the early 1800s when it was used as a trading post with the Seminoles. It may have been a refuge for escaped slaves starting around 1820. It was named for the eastern red cedar, Juniperus virginianainfo, which were abundant in the area until harvested to make pencils throughout the nineteenth century. It also played a role with its military presence in the Seminole wars and the Civil War. (From the Cedar Key Historical Society and Museum, who borrowed heavily from Wikipedia (or vice versa).)

Although the resolution and sharpness of the image should allow for this, we would need to send an image this size somewhere else to get it printed. Our printer can print up to 44" across, meaning that practically, we can print an image on paper up to 431/2". On canvas, we could only go to 371/2", to make room for wrapping the edges. Thus our in-house size limit for this image is shown above in parentheses.
