湿地と対比したフロリダ郊外の住宅地

An aerial view of a modern Floridian suburban neighborhood stretches out in a well-organized grid of curving cul-de-sacs and palm-lined streets. Each neatly spaced home features a light-colored rooftop and a sparkling backyard pool—some rectangular, others kidney-shaped—glinting in the bright midday sun. Lush green lawns and trimmed hedges divide the properties, while a few cars are parked in driveways, casting short shadows on the pavement. To the left of the development, the landscape shifts dramatically into untouched swampland—a wild, dense expanse of cypress trees, tangled mangroves, and shallow water reflecting the blue sky. The natural wetlands are rich with vegetation, dark waterways, and patches of mossy terrain. A stark contrast unfolds between the ordered, man-made suburb and the raw, humid wilderness beside it.
