this was a a solo trip although it started with Rob who was with Tarah and (as far as i remember someone else) so quickly parted their company and shoot for Dade. This was a weekend right after a light snow so it added much needed texture to otherwise bare rock.

After Florida became a U.S. territory in 1822, the slow influx of settlers created increasing friction with the Seminole Indians who had long called the area their home. The Seminole practice of giving refuge to fugitive slaves added to the tension.
By the 1830s, this conflict had risen to the boiling point. With the signing of the Treaty of Payne's Landing in 1832, several chiefs agreed to relocation of the Seminole people west of the Mississippi to Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma. But many Seminoles refused to go.
Faced with the prospect of being forced by the federal government to move, Seminoles opposed to the treaty decided to fight for their homes.
On December 28, 1835, a column of 107 officers and men under the command of Brevet Major Francis Langhorne Dade was en route from Fort Brooke on Tampa Bay to reinforce the garrison at Fort King in present day Ocala. About 50 miles short of their destination, they were attacked by 180 Seminole warriors in a pine forest in present day Bushnell.
All but three of the soldiers were killed, while only six warriors fell in the battle. Known at the time as the Dade Massacre, Dade's Battle of 1835 sent shock waves across the nation. It marked the start of the Second Seminole War, the longest and most costly American Indian war in U.S. history.
In 1921, the Florida Legislature appropriated funds for the preservation of the battle site as a memorial.

Following in the footsteps of American photographer William Eggleston, we were ‘at war with the obvious’. The challenge was to avoid all the cliché shots – the obvious stuff like beach huts, piers, seagulls and look for the interesting in the mundane.

Participating institution: Miami Dade College, FL, USA
Tomorrow's leaders must think and act as global citizens in order to address the challenges facing humanity. Broadly defined, global citizens are people who are consciously prepared to live and work in the complex interdependent society of the 21st century and contribute to improving the common global welfare of our planet and its inhabitants. The program aims to engage participating students as global citizens, helping them develop the knowledge, skills, values, and commitment to:
Understand the nature of globalization, including its positive and negative impacts around the world, and realize how it is transforming human society;
Appreciate the diversity of humanity in all of its manifestations, from local to global, and interact with different groups of people to address common concerns;
Recognize the critical global challenges that are compromising humanity's future and see how their complexity and interconnections make solutions increasingly difficult; and
Collaborate with different sets of stakeholders, by thinking globally and acting locally, to resolve these critical challenges and build a more equitable and sustainable world.
The session format includes lectures and discussions with an international faculty as well as formal and informal work in small groups. Topics addressed in plenary lectures and discussions include globalization and global responsibility; the social, economic, and political aspects of migration; the historical legacy of the Holocaust, human rights, humanitarian intervention; sustainable development; and the implications of the United States' influence around the world.
Participants will consider how these issues relate to their current situations and future personal, educational, and professional plans. They will also have the opportunity to develop projects and activities related to the session topic that can be implemented at their colleges and universities, in their local communities, and beyond.
