Wooden houses line a narrow waterway here, their stilts and porches reaching toward the water under a canopy of draping trees. The scene reflects how many Florida communities were built along rivers and canals, where water served as the main route for travel, fishing and trade before good roads arrived. Homes raised on pilings handled seasonal flooding and kept living space cool and dry in the humid subtropical climate. Pictures like this one capture a working landscape that has since changed as shorelines were filled, bridged and developed.
