This is at the south tip of Bill Bags Cape Florida State Park. We drove up from Key West for overnight stay in Miami and went to this place to see sunset. Wind was crazy that day, seams like my luck, whenever I happen to be at the shore. Sun was setting behind us and lighting up white walls of the light house, as you can see it for yourself.
So we have super duper winter storm here at the moment. I can see from my high rise window blowing snow and traffic on highway standing still. Not a good time to be outside. I was thinking to put some of my winter pictures as today’s post but then this ugliness started. So I changed my mind. I want to see something warm and peaceful, something with water too. So thankfully I had one of those already processed and ready for sharing.
This is in Miami, in Coconut Grove area on the New Years eve, just about 27 days ago… I’d like to see that now instead of snow blowing outside my office windows. I like this yacht forest, growing from the water, so many of them. If you look at the larger image, you can see some details on all of those little yachts.
Just hop on one and sail somewhere warm.
I have to take a shower…then write something about this… wait a minute or two.
Taking photos of fireworks isn’t easy, I actually never tried it before. Last night was the New Year 2011 night and we were in Miami, close to Brickell Avenue. This photo was taken from the seawall from the Biscayne Bay, Miami business downtown to your left and the little island with what look like residential apartments is on the right. We didn’t know where the fireworks will be visible from our location, I was hoping it will be right in the center of this photo, between those two high rises and much higher. It actually was to the left and not very high. I took a few pictures but most produced nothing interesting. This one was the best of the bunch. From this location we also could see fireworks at the South Beach and bit more north from the Miami Beach, those were quite nice, but they were really far and none produced any good photos.

It was about 40F, very windy, bit after 7AM, bitterly cold. I went to the South Beach South Point area to take some pictures. Not sure if any of them came out, the lens was sprayed by the crashing waves so I didn’t process any of those pics yet. After finishing with taking sunrise photos we discovered some kitties right at the base of the closed pier. There were at least a dozen of them. They were very curious and they were checking us out. But they didn’t want to pose for me. They were moving around and hiding behind the rocks. This one is one of the best attempts to get a few of them at the same time.
