Florida – 1845
A young woman, dress and arms covered in swamp water, raises a muddy shotgun. DP: Shalva Apaqidze.
A swamp (or The Everglades) on that day in 1845 Florida became the 27th state.
The swamp dwellers' trust in shaman Uzhmuri, the Queen of Frogs, prohibits the authorities from draining the wetlands in their fight against malaria.
