On the horizon in the middle of this shot is a clump of trees that we were heading for but first we had to watch where the storm beyond it was going. Sitting atop an aluminum airboat in a huge flat expanse of wetlands is certainly not one of the recommended behaviors in the Boy Scout handbook for what to do in a thunderstorm!

Landscape

The part of the Everglades we were exploring is the Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area-Water Conservation Area 3B, according to Google Maps. Not the most romantic name. This corner of the everglades is mostly grassland but there are a few islands dotted here and there that stand a few feet higher than the surrounding land.
