Photo of the Day: Sunset in the Florida Keys

Islamorada, located in the Florida Keys is one of my personal favorite places to watch the sunset. There are several great eateries on the Gulf side of the island, where you can relax, enjoy the view, the afternoon breeze, and the sounds of live music. Early risers can also catch spectacular sunrises on the Atlantic side of Islamorada.

This pier is located in Islamorada, in the Florida Keys. I felt the cloudy sky, along with the light and dark pillars on both sides of the pier, gave it a great setting for this black & white image (originally shot in color, and converted to b&w in post-processing.)

Islamorada in the Florida Keys is located at approximately 1.5 hour drive from Miami. If you’re looking for a great place to relax and unwind, Islamorada will most definitely do the trick.

I make it a point to visit several times during year, just to reset my brain.

Bayfront Park is a 32-acre public park in the heart of Downtown Miami. Overlooking the blue waters of Biscayne Bay, the park is host to numerous events throughout the year, including Miami’s official New Year’s Eve Party, America’s Birthday Bash on the fourth of July, the annual Ultra Music Festival, and the National Red Bull Flugtag competition, to name a few. Within the park is the Klipsch Amphitheatre, which also hosts a number of open air events and concerts, some of which have included internationally renowned artists like Maroon 5, Robert Plant, and the Goo Goo Dolls.  

Photo of the Day: Miami-Dade Road Construction

The SR 826 / SR 836 Interchange reconstruction is a 5-year road improvement project designed to alleviate the congested interchange between the north-south Palmetto and east-west Dolphin expressways in the heart of Miami-Dade County. The massive four-level interchange project includes construction of several new bridges, reconstruction of more than 5 miles of highway to provide additional lanes, and modifications to Flagler Street and Milam Dairy Road.

The launching gantry in this photo is 460 feet long and weighs approximately 475 tons. It’s used for efficient assemblage of tight radius segmental bridges like the ones being built for the SR 826/SR 836 reconstruction project. It moves from one pier to the next, ensuring each pre-fabricated bridge segment fits precisely with its adjacent segments. A truly impressive structure for modern-day bridge building.
