Description
Cluster of pond Cypress trees in the Florida Everglades National Park. A cluster like this is called a Cypress Head and is caused by an indentation in the ground that fills up with water. This water causes the Cypress trees to grow larger than the surrounding trees. Hence the name. Sometimes this indentations are dug out by alligators.
Captured with a large format film camera (4 x 5" film size)
The Everglades National Park is a subtle place where earth, water, and sky blend in a low green landscape; where mere inches of elevation produce distinct changes in vegetation; and where a great wealth of birds and other wildlife find refuge. For this is almost exclusively a biological park dedicated to the preservation of a complex and precisely ordered living mechanism. It lies at the interface between temperate and sub-tropical America, giving a rich diversity of species, many at the limit of their ranges.
With its special significance to the Nation and the world recognized by making the Everglades a National Park, A National Wilderness Area (for the most part), an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, its preservation for the benefit of present and future generations is better assured.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS!
