Slash Pines at Sunset, Everglades National Park, Florida

A fiery sunset colors the sky above several slash pine trees (Pinus elliotti) in 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 – only a few feet higher than the lowest points. Slash pine trees are specially adapted to survive fires, however, which destroy invasive species.
