Description
View of a small island with Slash pines and Palmetto Palm trees on a lake on Long Pine Key in the Everglades National Park in Florida. This image was captured on film with a 6 x 17 cm Pinhole Camera. A pinhole camera has no lens, no electronics, no viewfinder. 14 seconds exposure
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, 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.
