mosquitos and malaria endorse this message!
Hungry gator wants to know your location
Nasty insects, nasty animals, nasty diseases, nasty humidity. Yeah go on mate, tell us how cool swamps are
But swamps are cool, but you’re also very right they’re gross and I would much rather observe from afar or from a picture
Volcanoes are cool too but I’m not gonna take a dip in one
Shrek lived in a swamp and I trust his taste
There’s a reason swamps are portrayed that way. They’re generally unpleasant to be in for a variety of reasons. Just like being in a cold, dark, wet cave full of spider webs.
And being dangerous or unpleasant doesn’t make those places devoid of beauty!
Me, an intellectual: swamps are beautiful and wonderful because they can be tapped for one black mana.
Have sex with me immediately
Swamps are good, but as a Pacific-Northwesterner I prefer my wetlands in the form of a marshes and fens. I’d love a good bog though.
are leeches not a concern?
No
simply drink so much moonshine it kills the buggers
Could not be happier for you. I’m afraid of snapping turtles and the like, but if I weren’t a little bitch I would jump in
This guy is so cool. Really sees the beauty of Florida.
Florida is beautiful. It’s a damn shame about the culture that’s developed there.
I live here and it’s fine in the cities, they just have us gerrymandered to shit. And yes, I grew up here and never saw the beauty until I left for awhile and came back.
Clyde Butcher is one of the greatest American landscape photographers since Ansel Adams and a true hero of modern naturalism. Not only does he hike out into the swamp under conditions that would make most here wilt like cotton candy in the rain (see other comments), he often does it with camera equipment that is ancient, heavy, and bulky by today’s standards.
The biggest danger in the Everglades isn’t leeches (not at all common), brain eating amoebas (just keep your head above water), snakes (most would rather just slither away), snapping turtles (only aggressive when trapped), or gators (generally slow, predictable, dumb, and avoidable); it’s ignorance. The swamp isn’t a place into which you’d want to be dropped off unprepared and unequipped, but neither is LA of New York City.
Clive Butcher also did a landscape photography series of Salvador Dali’s home town that really opened my eyes about the scenes and settings in many of Dali’s paintings. It becomes clear that although surreal, many of the landscapes in Dali’s paintings are actually surprisingly real places painted literally but adorned with surreal characters and objects.
Clive Butcher walks the line between tough man and sensitive artist, cottage-core and goblin-core, Lorax and Crocodile Dundee.
That water is so gross 🤢
It’s just tannins.
so he’s steeping
I detect an oaky afterbirth
I mean yeah they’re pretty but you’re still gonna get dysentery, cholera, E. Coli, and 3-5 undiscovered parasites
I think my black MTG lands are all beautiful already
What does Margarine Trailer Greens have to do with this?
Murmuring boak would like a murmur.

All of my knowledge on bayous comes from hunt:showdown and my future decisions regarding waterlogged terrain will be based on an acute expectation of demonic incursion.
I think this guy was born with gator legs
lot of fish poop in there
Donald Trump gonna come for you
Is this a ‘drain the swamp’ refferance?
It looks like he’s found the secret Pepsi Cola source.
