Downtown Miami Sunset Panoramic

This was a night when everything simply came together for me. It was the first night after a Hurricane Matthew missed Miami. I was granted access to an exclusive point-of-view of the skyline.

Bridgehenge

Love living just 40 minutes from this great little spot to enjoy the sunset under the bridge.

Miami Sunset from the Bridge Panoramic

For those of you who know Miami, you will likely be sad to hear that Watson Island has basically become a construction site. The mega yachts you see in this scene are the first to move in. Further to the left will be a high rise building luxury building. What this leaves those of us seeking a panoramic photo of Miami only one option at this point - park at the Children's Museum and hike your way up the bridge.

7 Mile Bridge

Here is an aerial view of the 7-mile bridge in the Florida Keys. Photo was taken at about 120 feet above ground level. From Wikipedia: The Seven Mile Bridge is a famous bridge in the Florida Keys, in Monroe County, Florida, United States. It connects Knight's Key (part of the city of Marathon, Florida) in the Middle Keys to Little Duck Key in the Lower Keys. Among the longest bridges in existence when it was built, it is one of the many bridges on US 1 in the Keys, where the road is called the Overseas Highway. There are two bridges in this location. The older bridge, originally known as the Knights Key-Pigeon Key-Moser Channel-Pacet Channel Bridge, was constructed from 1909 to 1912 under the direction of Henry Flagler as part of the Florida East Coast Railway's Key West Extension, also known as the Overseas Railroad.

Miami Downtown Brickell Skyline

I love shooting skyline photos of Miami in the winter. The colors in the sky are perfect for photos. On this evening, the timing was right to enjoy the low tide for a great textured foreground.

Great Egret Catching Fish

Strolling slowly in the shallow water, I crouched down and waited. Watching this long legged great white egret snag lunch near the southern end of the 7-mile bridge in the Florida Keys. It is displaying a beautiful green face in preparation for mating season.

An abandoned stadium in Miami has become an art canvas for graffiti artists. Often thought of an eyesore, I tried to capture this colorful graffiti art, coupled with the reflections in the water in a different light.

An abandoned stadium in Miami has become an art canvas for graffiti artists. Often thought of an eyesore, the once boring cement walls have become a colorful graffiti art canvass that is not seen by many.
