Description
View of the Florida Bay at the most southern point of The Everglades National Park during low tide with a Sabal Palmetto Palm (aka Cabbage Palm) in the foreground and mangroves in the background. Update: After hurricane Irma in September 2017, this tree is no longer there.
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.

It looks like that poor old palm was hanging on by a thread even before Irma. Unfortunately they have very shallow root systems so not surprised it was taken down. The Everglades National Park is Florida's biggest crown jewel. Nice shot, Rudy, of Florida Bay and the cabbage palm.
