Sunrise Photography by Lee Smith
Matheson Hammock, Miami, FL
I took many photos of this morning, each image has it’s own impression to me. The sun had just risen past the clouds between the palm trees and my lens created the slight star effect. In the distance, you can see the cranes of the Port of Miami and the condos of Key Biscayne.

A recent trip to the Deerfield Beach Lighthouse which is only open a few times a year was a real treat. A beautiful area to photograph and enjoy. We took a 20 minute boat ride from Sands Pier.
The boat schedule to the lighthouse was starting at 9:00 AM and every hour on the hour until 3:00 PM. The boat leaves the Lighthouse to the Sands pier beginning at 9:30 AM and every hour on the half hour until 3:30 PM. They suggested to arrive at the piers 20 minutes before the departure time. There were members of Hillsboro Lighthouse Preservation Society (HLPS) to register & check you in. I was given a wrist band, and waited for the boat, of course I got there almost an hour early. We boarded for the boat ride to the lighthouse around 9am and enjoyed a slow scenic ride. A current HLPS membership or a $25 PP transportation fee is required.
Bring your food and drink with you – there are no refreshments at the lighthouse, but there is a restroom and a gorgeous beach.

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.
