Some Pictures From Silver Springs



,











Well, obviously I haven't figure out this whole picture business yet!  But here are three shots I made last summer at Silver Springs.  It's one of the oldest Florida tourist attractions.  People have been coming here since the 1850s.  Many early arrivals came on steamboats.  The glass-bottom boats that you see in the picture are world famous, but you may notice (if you look closely) that they are in terrible shape, as is the fake alligator that lives in the reptile exhibit.  I can't begin to imagine how many people have pictures with their heads in its mouth.  This is part of the argument that I'm making in my book---so many of Florida's great old attractions are in terrible shape and may not have much longer to live.
