I had walked back down through the park to re-take my shot of the Park Central Hotel. I then thought I'd walk back up the surf line to where my wife was lounging under a Boucher Brothers umbrella. That was not my best idea! Years ago when I worked in Libya and Oman, hiking through the sand was normal. Now, many years later my muscle-memory for this activity has long since faded and I found I had to head back up to the firmer sand away from the water to make decent progress.

My airboat captain was extremely knowledgeable about the area we were traveling in and he seemed to know where the wildlife would be. He was also very precise in the handling of the airboat with his right foot on the throttle and his left hand on the tiller to steer the boat. You can tell we're traveling at quite a lick by the way his hair is blowing back behind him.

Today's photos were taken shortly after yesterday's. The difference is I framed them vertically which further emphasizes the clouds. Like all the shots in my Everglades series it's a three-shot 4EV range HDR. Also like most of the it was taken while the airboat was in motion.

While the band of cloud above me moves out to the west, another thunderhead is rising in the east over Miami. Yesterday I posted my view to the west, today it's my view to the east. Same bank of cloud rendered almost black by the density of the water vapor blocking the sun. By this time we were headed back to the boat ramp.

Yesterday's photo was a view to the north. Today's swings around to the north-west. The sun is out of the frame to the left but the patchwork of clouds leads to the grassland under the dark clouds to be bathed in light while the grassland under the blue sky is wrapped in shadow.

We headed over to this patch of water to see three relatively young alligators - but my photos of them suck, to put it politely. However, I rather liked this view to the north. In the background to the left the rain is pouring down from a passing thunderstorm while the trailing edge of a different storm hangs overhead.
