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.

What a great build-up of beautiful clouds. The poor palm had no chance against Hurricane Irma. Nice b/w tones. Congratulations Rudy, for your home page feature in the Showcasing The South group. As a permanent record, you’re invited to post your image in the Featured Image Archive thread in the group discussions. L
