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.

On the horizon are two of the landmarks my captain uses to navigate - the radio mast just left of center and a cement plant just to the right of the white cloud.

This clump of trees was the furthest point north and west that we went on this trip. My Captain turned opened the throttle and as we started to clear the trees I captured this view of the Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area. This is a view east and if you look really closely you might find the airliner on it's descent into Miami International Airport. I toyed with the idea of cloning it out but decided to leave it.

So this is what we were searching for in the clump of trees in the photos Everglades 5 and Everglades 6. I'm not an ornithologist so I'm not going to make an attempt to say what types of birds these are. Birds is good enough for me.

The vertical framing of this shot has changes the overall exposure with the layer of cloud above the aircraft more dark and ominous looking. The sun is setting on the far side of the cloud wall with rays of sunlight streaking through the gaps in the clouds lighting them up like they're on fire while sheets of rain fall on the communities just inland of the coast.
