Eaten by leeches
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
While swamps seem “gross” they are actually the cleanest things in nature.
Wetlands are massive water quality processors, they are the opposite of dirty or gross, though I completely understand that feeling that stomping through thick mud is gross.
That actually interesting tho
Shrek lived in a swamp and I trust his taste
Can’t argue with that 🤷
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.
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.
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 walks the line between tough man and sensitive artist, cottage-core and goblin-core, Lorax and Crocodile Dundee.
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.
This guy is so cool. Really sees the beauty of Florida.
I mean yeah they’re pretty but you’re still gonna get dysentery, cholera, E. Coli, and 3-5 undiscovered parasites
He will be missed.
blew my mind when I first learned how useful bogs used to be for living off the land. preserves food and wood, tans leather, gives you fuel, great for foraging, etc
like where else can you find thousands of year old butter that is perfectly good to eat?
the parts of everything is as old as the universe
all primordial butter has been created in the big bang. Butter can not be created nor destroyed only transformed into new forms of butter
It looks like he’s found the secret Pepsi Cola source.
lot of fish poop in there
Fish poop in all the places they live.
Donald Trump gonna come for you
Is this a ‘drain the swamp’ refferance?
Weird take but okay
