Caddo Lake is considered one of East Texas’ treasures. Bald cypress trees draped with Spanish moss tower over a maze of bayous, sloughs and ponds. The 25,400-acre (10,300 ha) lake and bayou wetland lies along the Texas-Louisiana border, in northern Harrison and southern Marion counties in Texas and western Caddo Parish in Louisiana.

The lake is named for the Caddo people who lived in the region until their expulsion in the 19th century. It is an internationally protected wetland under the Ramsar Convention and includes one of the largest flooded cypress forests in the United States. Caddo is one of Texas’ few non-oxbow natural lakes and is the second-largest in the South; however, it was artificially altered by the addition of a dam in the early 1900s.

This panorama was photographed with a Canon R5 at f/13, 1/40 second and ISO 100. Focus bracketing produced 4,531 individual exposures, which were combined into 300 focus-stacked images arranged in 6 rows × 50 columns.
