Daily Photo – Into the Unknown
It looks in today's shot as though these trucks are heading into the unknown. Why would we move camp in a sand storm?

I've no idea if the ship in this photo is a Maltese Tanker or not - actually I seriously doubt it was flagged in Malta and I'm not at all sure it was a tanker either. I just felt it was a good title.
Today's photos were taken shortly after yesterday's. The difference is I framed them vertically which further emphasizes the clouds. Like all the shots in my Everglades series it's a three-shot 4EV range HDR. Also like most of the it was taken while the airboat was in motion.
While the band of cloud above me moves out to the west, another thunderhead is rising in the east over Miami. Yesterday I posted my view to the west, today it's my view to the east. Same bank of cloud rendered almost black by the density of the water vapor blocking the sun. By this time we were headed back to the boat ramp.
Yesterday's photo was a view to the north. Today's swings around to the north-west. The sun is out of the frame to the left but the patchwork of clouds leads to the grassland under the dark clouds to be bathed in light while the grassland under the blue sky is wrapped in shadow.
We headed over to this patch of water to see three relatively young alligators - but my photos of them suck, to put it politely. However, I rather liked this view to the north. In the background to the left the rain is pouring down from a passing thunderstorm while the trailing edge of a different storm hangs overhead.
