Veranda courtyard - Lake Sumter Landing

This is a courtyard just outside of the Veranda restaurant in Lake Sumter Landing. The photo is by Lois Anne.

The ever-sinking ship

We've posted evening/night photos of the ever-sinking ship previously. This is what it looks like mid-morning. It will probably never really sink. Remember, this is Disneyland for adults!

The Waterfront Inn - Lake Sumter Landing

If you wish to visit The Villages, and Lake Sumter Landing in particular, you may want to book a room at The Waterfront Inn, which overlooks, naturally, Lake Sumter.

A trust company with a bell tower

Main street in Lake Sumter Landing. A trust company with a cupola and bell. Would you trust such a company?

Daytime on the boardwalk - Lake Sumter Landing

We've shown many evening and night views of this area. This shot was taken late morning a couple of days ago giving a partial view of the boardwalk area at Lake Sumter Landing.

Looking for gators at Lake Sumter Landing?

A decorative waterwheel

So far as I can tell, this waterwheel in Lake Sumter Landing is purely for decoration. I think it looks nice, though.

Parking can be hard to find

At certain times of the day, it can be hard to find a parking place for one's golf cart in Lake Sumter Landing. That can make one late for the movie.

Winding up 18 holes

These folks are winding up 18 holes of golf on one of The Villages numerous golf course. The photo was taken from the boardwalk at Lake Sumter Landing with a long lens which compresses the distance.

Do not, I repeat, do not feed the gators!

We have spent many hours in Lake Sumter Landing walking the boardwalk and taking photos. We had never seen any gators. Until our last visit. Then, suddenly one appeared, maybe 20 yards out, casually gliding through the water, just the top of its head and part of its body visible.

I took a few photos, but it was too dark.

We did not feed it.

Customized golf car - just for you!

The golf car caught my attention immediately. I went to look and take some photos. The custom work was amazing. And it was for sale. The gentleman you see was very interested. He looked it over carefully, then wrote down the name and phone number of the owner.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he bought it. I also wouldn't be surprised if he paid somewhere around $20,000 USD for it!

Clouds

A cloudy sky over Lake Sumter Landing.

A sinking ship

Lake Sumter Landing. This sinking ship is fast becoming an icon. It is not sinking fast, however. But every time we visit it seems to have taken on a bit more water.
