Description
beautiful scene in the Everglades National Park
This image was captured with a home made large format pinhole camera with a 4 x 5 inch negative size film. No post processing was applied whatsoever. A pinhole camera has no lens, no viewfinder, and no light meter, and no electronics. Just a hole in a box.
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, National Wilderness Preservation 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. It is the only park on the planet with 5 designations.

Such and interesting image ~ an “ominous” feeling, that, in many ways, I associate with the Everglades! Well done!!

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.
