It’s.. photo time!

By , April 22, 2010 5:18 pm

Told ya I would show some pictures, didn’t I? Here they are! Or at least 10 of them.

This is where I had to change planes to get to Fort Lauderdale. The airport even has it’s own electronic tram to get people from one side of the terminals to the other. 🙂

Well, I really don’t have a clue as to what town this is, but it was somewhere in between Detroit and Fort Lauderdale, though closer to Detroit.

Jep! That’s where I’m staying! Along with a couple of other persons who’re also volunteering in the park.

That’s my transport to get from my house to my work and ocasionally into Homestead to get groceries. It’s an old Chevrolet S10, known in the office as the ‘little blue truck’, a little beaten up, but a lovely truck with a lot of character. I like it! Although I like anything with an engine. 🙂

Naaaah, it’s not my pet. It’s an alligator in the park. Saw it at Royal Palm, a place for tourists to go see wildlife, which includes alligators like this one.

Yep, that’s a cottonmouth! Venomous snake that also roams the lands in the park. You can understand that when I saw it, I stopped the truck, but didn’t get out to snap a picture. Hooray for a zoomlens on your camera. 😀

If you get up early enough you can get some great views out in the park here. Or not even in the park. This was on the road to my house, just outside the entrance of the park.

That was yesterday! I was in a helicopter with 2 of my colleagues to get to areas where we had to do research, but couldn’t get there by boat or car, with the muddy grounds and all.

A better shot of the helicopter that we flew in. See? No doors! You could really feel every whack of air from the blades, keeping it in the air.

Jep, that’s a location where we did one of the sediment deposit checks. We basically stayed up on the boardwalks not to disturb the ground underneath, as that’s what you gotta research, the amount of sediment deposited on the ground.

That’s it for the pictures right now! Total amount of pictures that I took right now is 588. I’m not saying that they’re all good pictures, but some of them are nice at least. 🙂 Makes for better selection of great pictures to show all of you when I get back in about 3,5 months.

    That helicopter ride must’ve been a lot of fun! Not to mention the snake and the alligator. Plus you’re in America, enjoying the things you do…I think I’m getting jealous. ^^
    I hope the rest of your stay will be just as fun! Oh and watch out you don’t fall off those thin boardwalks
