I took this photo not too long ago near my home in Palmetto Florida. I pass this marina a dozen times a week, it's small and sometimes I don't even notice it. But but at the right hour, the right light, the right angle and a little imagination it becomes something a little more. At least that's how I see it. ;-)
II cannot even imagine the amount of effort that goes into construction these elevated walkways through the mangroves here in Florida, and they're all over the place. But then I suppose it's no different than the construction of hiking trails through the rockies. The more I think about it the more I get bogged down in the details of the engineering. I suppose it's a guy thing, that's why I watch Discovery Channel shows on how things are built, I just have to know. In real life I spend more time in front of a monitor than I do on a sidewalk, but I just might need to know how to construct the Bridge over the River Kwai, ...you never know.
When I lived up north in the cold and then visited a warm place, I would savor the last remaining moments of my vacation. I think that's what was happening when I took this shot. A couple enjoying a last swim in the Gulf of Mexico one evening under a beautiful sunset in Bradenton Beach Florida. All good things come to and end, and fortunate for me I was here when it happened.
