With the support of many early conservationists, scientists, and other advocates, Everglades National Park was established in 1947 to conserve the natural landscape and prevent further degradation of its land, plants, and animals. Although the captivation of the Everglades has mostly stemmed from its unique ecosystem, an alluring human story of the Everglades is deeply interwoven with its endless marshes, dense mangroves, towering palms, alligator holes, and tropical fauna. Various groups and people navigated through and wrestled with the watery landscape to make it home, and even to exploit its natural wonder at times. (1)

Thank you Miami New Times for making this your 305 Photo of the day on November 5th, 2013!
St Ethelbert, Tannington, Suffolk
Tannington is a familiar name from the sides of big lorries in East Anglia, because it is home to a major agricultural distribution company, But if you have ever jockeyed for position on a busy road with one of these beasts, the name will have given you quite the wrong idea of the place. Tannington is a backwater of a backwater, out on the long curving road that narrows beyond Worlingworth, before becoming a track connecting the churches of Tannington and Bedfield. On a sunny day, the graveyard is as pretty as any, wide and open with St Ethelbert's rather stubby little shape in the centre, and only an old farmhouse for company.
The church appears to be one long building from outside, with only rendering to differentiate the nave from the chancel. In fact, there will be something else inside, as we will see. The modern roof running the length of the building is handsome enough, but you can't help thinking how lovely this church would look if it was thatched.
Simon Cotton tells me that there was a bequest for the porch in 1451, by which time this building must have looked pretty much as it does now, apart from the roof. The porch has been restored recently by Adnams, no less. You step across a mat which asks that our feet should be guided into the way of peace, and this church is a perfect place to find that peace. You can sit in here and be the only person for a mile or more. Inside, St Ethelbert is one of those beautiful, simple country churches, which have been restored enough to make them suitable for modern Anglican worship, but without the overwhelming anonymity the Victorians might have struck into it. This is a building full of light, and the light illuminates some of the most beautiful benches in the county.
They are 15th century, and their bench ends have been terribly badly mutilated. But somehow, this adds to their poignancy, and, although they are clear victims of Anglican iconoclasm, they are so smoothed that they look as if the centuries had simply melted them away. There are parts of three separate series here. Firstly, some are obviously from a set of the Seven Sacraments. Baptism is easy to spot, and its partner on the same bench is Penance. Another bench is from a series of Seven Deadly Sins. We see Avarice scooping money into a sack which hangs over the back of the bench end. Across the way is an image from yet another series, the Seven Works of Mercy. This depicts Giving Shelter to the Homeless. Cautley thought this carving depicted Lust, but that probably tells us more about Cautley than it does the medieval imagination.
There are some benches at the back of nearby Bedingfield church which are so similar that they must be the work of the same artist, and may even have come from the same church originally. It may be that the carvings at nearby Wilby are also from the same group.
There is a beautiful creamy austerity to the nave, offset by a pleasing modern window, with local scenes including Tannington church and Braiseworth Hall. It depicts sowing and reaping, and a verse from Genesis: While the Earth remaineth and Summer and Winter, Seed-time and Harvest shall not cease. It remembers a former churchwarden, and is lovely.
Just as the break between nave and chancel can be discerned externally, so they can inside by the high canopy of honour to the now-lost rood and screen, which punctuates the roof about two-thirds of the way along. Beyond, the chancel is again simple and light. This fine church may not be as well known as many of its Suffolk companions, but it as lovely as any.
St Ethelbert has something else, less precious perhaps but just as unusual as medieval bench ends and canopies of honour. This is a Royal Arms for Elizabeth II. I recall seeing only four others of these anywhere in East Anglia. The war memorial is sweetly tended and beautiful, but in a display case to the west is a memory of one of the boys who came back, the Companions of the Great War (Framlingham branch) certificate for Private SG Crisp. In the same display are old bibles, interesting enough of course. But best of all is a surviving parish truncheon, as wielded by the 19th century parish constable.
Looking out across the fields from the graveyard, drinking in the deep peace of this, the heart of rural Suffolk, you can't help wondering what on earth he could have found to use it for.
In the 1960's the AeroJet company was considered as the possible supplier of solid-fuel rocket motors to be used as primary power plants for the Saturn I space booster. The idea, in simple terms, was to use a single, very large rocket motor in place of a number of smaller rocket motors.
The AJ260 was the largest rocket motor ever produced and during it’s testing, created the highest decibel noise level ever created by man. Its blast could be seen easily, 50 miles away in Miami. Despite it’s great power and sprawling manufacturing complex, the project was dropped by NASA.
All that remains are the ruins of the manufacturing facility, and of course, the rocket, which still sits in its firing tube in the middle of a swamp where it has been waiting for 50 years. The swamp has begun to reclaim this giant complex which stretches across five miles of desolate swamp.
The main complex of huge buildings, a great find itself, is not the highlight of this location. No, the highlight is a smaller metal shack about four miles further into the swamp. Half the roof is missing and a small group of turkey vultures have made the place their home. If you walked through the building you may not even notice it was there, but underneath your feet, below a rusted metal floor is a rocket.
Most of the ruins facing the beach were old gun batteries or support buildings built to take a hit. Many of this buildings have been lost to the Gulf of Mexico due to erosion. Military ruins on Egmont Key.
Military ruins on Egmont Key. This made a interesting photo since the men sitting wore only underwear and the men standing were in full uniform. Photos like these throughout the island made one feel the passage of time. The island today is quite with a scattering of ruins. Most of the structures have long disappeared.
Pathway from the military ruins to the ghost town. . . Egmont Key has a lot of history. In 1898 a coastal defense system was built to protect the west coast of Florida from a possible Spanish invasion. This Fort became known as Fort Dade. By World War I their was a complete town on the island complete with a school, post office, hospital, theater, etc. Several miles of brick streets are still there today. This path connected the military fortress to the town.

DADE CITY,FL. 11/23/2013. At the beginning of the encounter with Remington, a four month old White Bengal Tiger, trainer Kelsey Johnson catches the cat as trainer Randy Stearns lets it in the pool. In the back is Stephanie Looney ( Brandon, Fl.) as she waits her turn to swim with the cat. Photos taken in Dade City, FL. of Dade City Wild Things, a 22 acre ecotourism wildlife park. The park offers safari rides, walking tours and visitor interaction with the animals. Some of the animals there are Bengal Tigers, African Lions, the Florida Panther and more. The mystery monkey that evaded capture in Pinellas County for four years is also at the attraction. Photo by Bill Serne

Ruins of Fort Dade. Some historians believe that Hernando DeSoto could have been the first European to step upon Egmont Key in 1539. Today wildlife, military ruins and a lighthouse can be found on the island at the mouth of Tampa Bay.
