This is photo features Key West, as it was before the Hurricane. It is a good thing I took plenty of photos. It may take many years before the place is completely fixed. This one was devastated by the terrible Hurricane Irma. Irma just did not want to quick. I have been in numerous hotels, and I have seen certain places that are still under reconstruction. Sure those places have insurance. On the meantime, businesses hemorrhage money.  People should write more about the topic of Hurricanes. They usually do some sappy romance or fantasy stories. However, Hurricanes are usually overlooked....

colombia, offering, photo, tourism, travel -

Religion aside, I found this stand of offerings to the Virgin Mary rather interesting. Each little figurine represented an answered prayer or a miracle experienced by the worshiper. Taken on their own, each figurine represents a bad episode in a person's life that got resolved satisfactory. Only the guy who gave the item knows what it is all about. If you look closely, there is a couple of Jewish stars thrown in there.  A good number feature a woman's chest. I guess it has to do with breast cancer. It is an affliction that many women are sadly familiar with....

miami beach, photo, sunset -

This is quite the cute photo of the sunset. I took it from the car while going home. It took a bit of tweaking with the camera to make the photo work.

By messing with the amount of lights, I was able to take this photo.  I focused mostly in the sky, this gives the buildings a nice dark feel to them. The sky was particularly red that day. Most good sunsets...

I am a bit sorry I was not able to post anything yesterday. My family wanted to celebrate mother's day in Hollywood. The one in Florida, not the one in California. Anyhow, we went to a hotel there and we went swimming. The weather did not felt like cooperating, and I think I am developing a bit of a cold. At night, we played a bit Pokémon Go, before returning to the hotel around 1 PM. It was certainly quite the effort to find a restaurant there that was still serving food at 11 PM. I did not eat anything,...

beach, ocean, photo, resort -

This is a photo I took on the way out of Mexico. I was on the plane and the sun was setting. People with good cameras should take photos when they get a chance. The photo illustrates the Mayan Coast. At least, this is what I think. We landed in the Mayan Coast. So, I guess all the nearby areas belong to that locality. It is interesting to see the two sides of the water. One looks crystal clear and the other was murky. I am not a big fan of flying on planes. I recently discovered that I suffer...
