A Warm Summer Sunrise B&W

Photo by Lee Smith

This was my first shot of the day when I arrived at my spot. I just liked the colors of the morning but wanted to see how it looked in Black & White, the stillness of the water and the slight twinkle of the distant lights from the city at Matheson Hammock, Miami, FL

Sunny Isles to Haulover Inlet

Photo by Lee Smith

This photo was taken from one of the hotels along Collins Avenue looking south. I think I was up around the 14th Floor of this building. The view is from the top of the Sunny Isles fishing pier south to Haulover Inlet. I thought is was amazing to see the shape of the shoreline. Click on the image for a larger view
