The Big Picture nos trae hoy una sorprendente galería formada por fotografías áreas que muestran la influencia de la mano del hombre en el estado de Florida. En las imágenes podemos ver cómo el ser humano ha ido comiéndole terreno a la naturaleza y aprovechando hasta el último rincón disponible para construir nuevas urbanizaciones y zonas residenciales.
Las fotografías son realmente espectaculares y muestran por un lado la laboriosidad del ser humano y, por otro, cómo a veces construimos sin pararnos a pensar en el daño que hacemos al medio ambiente. Sobre todo cuando ese daño es innecesario ya que, según comentan en The Big Picture, muchas de esas casas están vacías y algunos desarrollos urbanísticos se han abandonado a medias porque no hay compradores suficientes.
La imagen que tenéis al principio del post, por ejemplo, está tomada directamente de Google Maps y muestra una zona residencial construida alrededor de un lago artificial en la zona de Bonita Springs (Florida).

Once proposed as the 57,000 acre "Golden Gate Estates", this area was to be the largest subdivision in America in the 1960s. Many canals and roads were built, but the development eventually went bankrupt. Over the past 20 years or so, the land has been acquired by the state, and converted into the Picayune Strand State Forest. Map, Street View. (© Google/USGS) #

The Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport was originally planned as the Everglades Jetport, and construction started in 1968 on what was to be the world's largest airport with six runways to support supersonic transport. Being surrounded by the Big Cypress National Preserve, environmental concerns halted construction, and when commercial supersonic transport didn't arrive, the project was left as-is, now a lightly-used airport.
