I published a mate to this picture about a month back. It was the first in the series because it was the first I took when driving South. This is the Northbound view from just North of the crest of the bridge. Shows you a good view of the Glades. Flatter than New Jersey or any other "flat" state. Green as it gets. The land is absolutely lush, choked with sawgrass, mangrove, and other tropical foliage, stuffed with wildlife both natural and exotic. Beautiful area. Way off in the distance lies the Florida Mainland and Miami to the North. My home beyond that.
This is a view that you just don't seem to get in many places. An almost unspoiled view of wildlife. Untouched lands where there are no farms or buildings for about as far as you can see. I'm glad I'm so close to something that I was only once able to dream about visiting. I can only hope that the State is able to reclaim the wetlands that were taken away to build this metropolis that stretches about 100 miles from North to South, about 20 miles from East to West from the Agricultural Interests. A one of a kind jewel that can not be replaced.
