Description

Mangrove forest first destroyed by Hurricane Irma in 2017 and then by Hurricane Ian in 2022. This used to be a very dense mangrove forest with trees of 40 plus feet high and many square miles. All gone now. It will take time for these mangroves to regrow, but eventually, they will.

Captured with a pinhole camera (no lens) on 4 x 5" B/W sheet film

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. its preservation for the benefit of present and future generations is better assured by awarding the Everglades with six designation. This alone makes the park unique since there is no other park in the world with six designations of any kind. - a National Park, - a national wilderness area, (86%) - an UN International Biosphere Reserve, - an UNESCO World Heritage Site, - a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, - and a specially protected area under the UN Environmental Cartagena Treaty.

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! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
