My airboat captain was extremely knowledgeable about the area we were traveling in and he seemed to know where the wildlife would be. He was also very precise in the handling of the airboat with his right foot on the throttle and his left hand on the tiller to steer the boat. You can tell we’re traveling at quite a lick by the way his hair is blowing back behind him.
Having crossed an expanse of inundated grassland, we turned into a firebreak canal in search of some alligators and that was when I got the shot below. It’s a handheld 3-shot, 4EV HDR, finished in a beta version of onOne Software’s Perfect Photo Suite 7, which is due for general release on October 31!.
This Chevy Bel Air was parked outside the Ocean’s Ten Restaurant on Ocean Drive, Miami. From the color coordination, I’m guessing the owner of the restaurant and the owner of the car are the same person. if you look closely you’ll see the license plate is from Cuba.
I noticed an observatory on the top of ‘The Villa by Barton G’ as it is now officially titled, originally the Casa Casuarina and more commonly known as the Versace House. I thought it quite curious that there was an observatory here. I doubt there’s still a telescope there and I’d wager the light pollution from the local neighborhood would render all but the brightest stars invisible if there is.
Miami beach is dotted with these wonderful Lifeguard stations. They’re named for the streets that would intersect the ocean if extended that far. That way, if there’s an emergency, it’s pretty easy to say where you are located. Each shack appears to be different in overall design and decoration.
South Beach, Miami, on a Friday morning at around 9:30. Having sauntered south on Ocean Drive to about 12th street I decided to head out to the beach a shade under 500 feet from the hotels and restaurants. Being 9:30am on a regular Friday there were not many people on the beach but the Boucher Brothers crews had been hard at work laying out sun loungers and umbrellas in anticipation of crowds to come.
