Yeah, the "sugar barons" of the south were an occasional example in my economics classes. It was not meant to be a favorable example... Nice photo; really like the simple blues & greens!
@louannwarren yes, Big Sugar is not well loved by many. I realize it is complicated. I wish the Everglades had been better understood 100 years ago. Honestly, I have only recently grown an appreciation of it. However, our state absolutely needs to have a healthy Everglades system.
beautiful shot, I really like the various color contrast, the brown of the earth, the green of the reeds, the blue of the sky and the white of the clouds
