Description
Beautiful monochrome view of the Paurotis Pond in the Florida Everglades The Paurotis Pond is one of the main nesting areas for birds in the park.
This image of the Florida Everglades was captured on old school analog film with a large format camera. Film photography gives a tone and “feel” to the image that only film photography can accomplish. The film was developed by the photographer. After scanning, besides some old school local contrast adjustments (dodging and burning) no post processing was applied. Hand printed and signed limited editions are also available. Please contact seller.
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.
