WindSurfing with a Ship in the Background
This is another one of my windsurfing photos. Behind the fellow, you can see a tiny sailboat. I think it is a schooner or something like it. Both hobbies rely a lot on the wind. Lately, the weather has not been cooperating. It has been raining nonstop. This has been at least good for the plants. Florida officially is out of the drought. We can use water whichever which way we like. Then again, there is nothing fun about wasting water. It is not an environmental stand, rather just a money saving deal. People shouldn't waste. This reminds me of...
Winsurfing during a Rainy Day
This is something not too far out there. Recently, another poor fellow died because of a lightning storm. Also a house got struck by lightning. The state of Florida is the number one state for lightning storms and lightning related death. As such, people tend to be cautious whenever a storm passes by. It is easy to tell when a storm is going to have lightning. If the clouds are cumulous nimbus, then they have lightning. Just look for the bubbly, fat looking storm clouds. Most people do not bother to learn the difference. They also do not look at...
Windsurfing in Miami Beach
It has been quite a while since I have visited Miami Beach. Part of the issue is that the rains have finally come. It has been raining non stop for almost an entire month. Recently, a poor fellow died when struck by lightning. Florida has one of the highest lightning related death statistics. It is not as bad as the shark deaths. People do not take lightning storm seriously. Whenever one of those roll over, it is best not to be exposed. The roof always protects you from lightning strikes. Soon, I will be going on vacation and hopefully I...
Miami Beach Landscape
This is one of my many Miami Beach Landscape photos. This one was taken close to sunset, beneath the shadow of one of the many Hotels there. Wherever the shadow falls, that part of the beach is going to be privatized. I guess it might work well for the tourists, but not for the locals. The hotels put too much faith in the power of outsiders and not enough on the business from the locals. Also, a lot of places like night clubs and restaurants depend on the locals for their business. If they shoo out the locals, it won't...
Night Photo in Miami Beach
This is a photo I took at night. It is a bit hard to take night photos without a tripod. I would not recommend it. I have not visited Bayside for a long time. It used to be an interesting place, but then it turned into a generic junk. This is something that is happening all over Florida. You already know how it goes. The owner of the land raises the rent, in order to get only big cooperation to roam the area. Once all the small business leave, the areas turn into everything else. Loosing all its charms. None...
