The image was captured in 1997 as part of Nadav Kander’s acclaimed series "God's Country", which explored the juxtaposition between human-made environments (like road trip motels) and raw American wilderness.
The shot was taken in flooded wetlands outside New Orleans on land owned by Exxon. Kander navigated the swamps by boat during winter, taking advantage of colder weather when the local alligator population was less active.
The photograph depicts a primeval, atmospheric swamp scene featuring electric green moss and glowing mist. Unlike much of Kander's work, which examines human impact on nature, this piece completely lacks human presence, creating an eerie, romantic sense of scale reminiscent of 19th-century landscape painter Caspar David Friedrich.
