Copeland, Florida, was once a thriving logging town on the edge of the Everglades in Southwest Florida. The Tidewater Cypress Logging Company harvested virgin cypress trees from the area’s swamps in the 1940s and 1950s. The Beulah Baptist Mission, Copeland’s historic black church, is all that is left and it is slated for demolition.

POD ~ Everglades in Winter

Winter Everglades

Florida’s Everglades is beautiful any time of the year. In what passes for winter in southern Florida, when water levels are lower and the cypress trees have lost their needles there often is more to see. Wildlife is forced into  more concentrated areas and the vistas becomes larger. These images were taken just a few days from the Winter Solstice not far off of the Tamiami Trail in the Big Cypress area.
