Belanger's is the first study which looks at the Everglades as a whole, not just the national park, but an expansive landscape, from Lake Okeechobee down to Florida Bay, and including the Nike Missile Site, water control management systems, and voracious land development. The entire region is now a 'built' environment of highly managed parks, canals, and sugar cane and citrus agriculture. Informed by her intuition and mindful of the delicacy of atmosphere in the low, flat plain of the Everglades, Belanger's photographs deftly capture this unique and challenging environment. --Verna Posever Curtis, Curator of Photography, Library of Congress

An exquisitely tragic portrait of one of the United States' most unique living systems. Belanger has captured both the unique beauty of the Everglades and the damage that has been visited upon those grassy waters. Her focus on the boundary between that which is outside and within the lands designated as a national park is poignantly imaged in a direct and perceptive vision.--Martha A. Strawn author of Alligators, Prehistoric Presence in the American Landscape
