Alas, Babylon: Notes from Broward County, Kendall
http://landscrape.blogspot.com/2014/03/notes-from-broward-county-kendall.html
A document of land usage in my part of the United States. Saturday, March 01, 2014. Notes from Broward County, Kendall. Kendale, depending on the subdivision) butts up against the park. There's no over way I can describe it; the roads and canals that border it are the hard lines between man's encroachment and the Everglades. To your left, houses. To your right, the Everglades. Kendall, from the Everglades. The Everglades, from Kendall. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow Alas, Babylon by email.

Alas, Babylon: Twin Rivers, Parrish, FL
http://landscrape.blogspot.com/2013/02/twin-rivers-parrish-fl.html
A document of land usage in my part of the United States. Monday, February 25, 2013. Twin Rivers, Parrish, FL. I challenge you to find the twin rivers. I'll even wait here while you go full screen Google Maps. It warms my cockles to see a an Animal Crossing sign. I want to believe there is some reverence for the land and the wildlife, but sometimes I think it's more like the old roadside Kodak moment signs, letting people know where to stop and take pictures. Stop here and wait until you see wildlife!

Alas, Babylon: Notes on SFWMD
http://landscrape.blogspot.com/2014/02/notes-on-sfwmd.html
A document of land usage in my part of the United States. Saturday, February 01, 2014. I've been going back and forth with various folks at SFWMD trying to get levee access. I think I may be close, but it's crazy expensive. Oh well. I need to be on the levees, to see the swamp and the suburbistan in Broward and MDC Counties. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Alas, Babylon: The Isles, Sarasota, FL
http://landscrape.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-isles-sarasota-fl.html
A document of land usage in my part of the United States. Friday, May 17, 2013. The Isles, Sarasota, FL. Some images of the finished sections, these being in the northwest part of the development. This is from the northern most bridge, looking south. I'm not in love with the image, but I do like what it shows. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow Alas, Babylon by email.

Alas, Babylon: Unnamed Development, Bradenton, FL
http://landscrape.blogspot.com/2013/02/unnamed-development-bradenton-fl.html
A document of land usage in my part of the United States. Saturday, February 16, 2013. Unnamed Development, Bradenton, FL. Look at this map. There's nothing. (maybe in the future they'll be something, but as of today, it's a field from the birds eye view). Well, Google's wrong. The streets have names: Royal Dornoch, Tobermory, Eastwood and other silly compound names that make no sense, but there's no record of them (yet). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Alas, Babylon: Harrison Ranch, Parrish, FL
http://landscrape.blogspot.com/2013/08/harrison-ranch-parrish-fl.html
A document of land usage in my part of the United States. Thursday, August 15, 2013. Harrison Ranch, Parrish, FL. 1/10/14 EDIT: The map image has changed since the images were taken. A revisit is planned. I also got to see a snake swim across one. It was too far away to identify it but this being Florida, I'm not going on a snake hunt. There was also this seemingly random fence separating the plots. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow Alas, Babylon by email. Click here to subscribe.

Alas, Babylon: Foxbrook, Parrish, FL
http://landscrape.blogspot.com/2013/11/foxbrook-parrish-fl.html
A document of land usage in my part of the United States. Friday, November 15, 2013. Foxbrook, Parrish, FL. I found this little piece of an otherwise very large development, where they cleared the property lines, but not the lots. Something like this is odd, but welcome. I suppose they're charging a premium for these lots, seeing how they're heavily wooded compared to their eastern neighbors. It's also 11:30 AM and the moon is still out.

Alas, Babylon: River Reach, Parrish, FL
http://landscrape.blogspot.com/2013/11/river-reach-parrish-fl.html
A document of land usage in my part of the United States. Friday, November 01, 2013. River Reach, Parrish, FL. River Reach, as a subdivision, is pretty unremarkable. I did get to see ponds being built, which is something of a treat. There's something odd about building ponds in Florida; the landscape is already giant sponge with lakes everywhere, and yet we need to build more? The real story of River Reach is how it's built around the old Rye Settlement. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Alas, Babylon: Unnamed subdivision, Riverview, FL
http://landscrape.blogspot.com/2013/10/unnamed-subdivision-riverview-fl.html
A document of land usage in my part of the United States. Tuesday, October 15, 2013. Unnamed subdivision, Riverview, FL. Sometimes you just find places. There's something visceral about seeing a house in this state. It seems so empty, just waiting on the construction fury that will accompany another house. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
