Ryndam in Key West

Its that time of year that the weather is getting cold and all the leaves have fallen off the trees here in Michigan. Its that time of year where the urge to Go, See, and Do really starts to get me again! I’m not planning anything major in the near future (we’re saving for a Mediterranean cruise in 2017), just a little weekend trip somewhere not far from home. I was thinking, I need an app that will let me input my location and how far I’m willing to drive and it will tell me all the places I could go. And guess what? I Googled it and it exists!

This shot was taken at the cruise pier on Key West. I think I’ve mentioned here that my first visit to Key West was on a cruise ship. That day, we were the only ship in port. I was shocked when I made it back to the keys and there were three cruise ships docked in Key West! I think it is safe to say that when the ships left that day, the island had half the people it had midday!

The Colors of Key West

Key West Colors *Explored*

The first time I visited Key West it was the first port on a Caribbean cruise and honestly, I fell in love and just could not wait to go back! So, a year and a half later I took another trip to the Keys with the intent to see more of the islands. One of the things I did on that trip was climb to the top of the Key West Lighthouse. As a Michigander, I’ve climbed to the top of several Great Lakes Lighthouses and the view from the KWL was totally different! It gave you a bird’s eye view of the island and really highlighted the colorful architecture that makes up the Southernmost Isle.

I highly encourage photographers (and travelers too) to look for a different vantage point, especially in highly photographed areas. Climb lighthouses, stairs, mountains, you never know what you’ll see when you reach the top.

Sailboat Sunset

Sailboat Sunset Revisted

Preparing for my trip to the Keys, I kept hearing about how wonderful the sunsets are. Heck, the words “Key West, Home of the Sunset” are written on the Southernmost Point Marker. And I have to say, after watching several sunsets in the keys, Ft. Zachary Taylor in Key West was one of the best places to catch one!

This is one of my favorite photos! I love how you can see the people on the boat, silhouetted against the orange sky and the reflection of the setting sun in the water. If you like this photo as much as I do, it is available for purchase on Fine Art America.
