You see some strange things when you are visiting and not from an area, like this concrete barge that was run aground in shallow water off the coast of Key Largo, Florida. The water clarity is good for a high traffic boat channel – it’s right off the channel. People kayak and snorkel around the barge to find tropical fish, invertebrates and an occasional lobster. It’s about 10ft deep but this barge clearly sticks out of the water.

When you drive a few miles out to sea and find a structure like a lighthouse – I always wonder how the heck they built that thing. It is unmanned, but still functions being the oldest existing screw-pile lighthouse still in service in the United States – located off the coast of Key Largo, Florida
