The black still freshwater water of Lake Drummond in the Great Dismal Swamp gives a distinct mirrored reflection. This photo is six landscape frames stitched for a 180-degree panoramic view at the National Wildlife Refuge's boat ramp along the Interior Ditch. This was taken on an almost calm, but sweltering hot day. The swifts were having a field day in the open areas while the mosquitoes, yellow flies, and horseflies ruled the sky on the interior wooded sections of the refuge.
Lake Drummond is one of only two natural lakes in Virginia. The lakes maximum depth is 6 feet, it is roughly 5 square miles in area, and features nearly 8.5 miles of shoreline. The lake itself is the highest point in the refuge.
Alexander Spotswood (governor of Virginia and my 6th great grandfather), called the swamp a "No-man’s-land" and declared that "Loose and disorderly people daily flock" to the area.
