Haulover Beach for a Sunrise

A recent trip to Haulover Beach for a Sunrise photo shoot. Overcast with 20knot winds made taking photos a challenge. I had fun walking around finding locations to photograph.

The Small Shack with Christmas Lights

This small shack with it’s Christmas Lights caught my eye when I driving along A1A. No matter what size the building , Christmas lights light up anything with a season spirit.

Dania Pier on a Windy Day

I got to the beach around 6:15am and noticed it was still very dark. Shooting Landscape photography when the wind is blowing and salt water spray is covering your gear, makes things tough. Normally, you see some light on the horizon, but not this day. The clouds were very thick and the winds were strong.

The Marvin Adams Waterway, Key Largo, Florida

Visitors drive across this bridge on highway U.S. 1 – located about mile marker 103.6. The vertical walls rise about 15 feet high and the local boaters refer to it as “the Cut”. It took a year-and-a-half to complete the half-mile cut in 1961 with a temporary bridge on the bayside. Twelve years later, a four lane highway bridge was built. Interesting story – http://www.keyshistory.org/thecut.html

The Mangroves of the Islands

Off Key Largo are beautiful quiet islands covered with mangroves. These saltwater trees create a massive amount shade and help create an amazing environment to explore. Below is a mangrove tree with new growth.
