I meant to add this Google link to show where the photo was taken
<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Bishop+Harbor,+Palmetto,+FL&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=35.631106,54.492188&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Bishop+Harbor&ll=27.598597,-82.552557&spn=0.019472,0.026608&t=h&z=15>
It was taken near the bend in Bishop Harbor road and looking east.
Where I live is about a mile away to the southeast. Look in the lower
right corner for the "T" in "Tangerine St."
I didn't realize it until now but there's a street view available along
Bishop Harbor road. If you position yourself at the bend in the road at
the point where you see a white sign while facing east you'll recognize
the scraggly live oak that appears at the far left of my shot. It's
just off the left edge of the sign.
