Slash Pine Trees at Sunset, Everglades, Florida

Several slash pine trees (Pinus elliotti) are rendered in silhouette as the sun sets behind the Pinelands of the Florida Everglades. Pine trees cannot survive if submerged for extended periods, and therefore grow only at the highest elevations in the Everglades – which are only a few feet higher than the lowest points. Slash pine trees are specially adapted to survive fires, however, which destroy invasive species.
