Formerly: The "Strand Theatre" - 5:51 AM
Duval Street - Key West, Florida U.S.A.
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - now it is a Walgreens]
*[at one time; Strand Theatre was the only Key West movie theatre]
The Strand Theater in Key West opened in the mid-1920s as a
single screen movie house that sat around 800 people. The
theater closed sometime in the early 1980s and reopened as
a nightclub. It remained open as a few other nightclubs until it
became a Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum in 1993.
The theater was sold in December 2001 and closed in April 2002.
It has since become another location of Walgreens drug store. Based on research, over the past 20 years the marquee had become damaged with parts even missing. Walgreens restored the marquee to its original status, with the exception of adding their own advertising. All of the interior has been removed and/or covered over with the exception of the balcony.
This famed street is a beautiful confluence of art and culture,
history and heritage, exuberant celebrations, and a dash of
debauchery. Hey, their bars jam until 4 a.m. and there are
more than 100 bars in 15 blocks! There are more 'bars' per-
capita on Key West than in any other city in the United States!

SUNRISE ~ South Florida ~ Florida Keys
Smathers Beach ~ Key West, FL U.S.A.
[So I'm shooting 'this sunrise' and a Key West motorcycle-cop
pulls up right next to me. I couldn't understand why...I wasn't
doing anything illegal?!? He leaves his motorcycle running, says
good morning to me, and then takes out his personal cell-phone and 'snaps a few photos' of this gorgeous golden sun-scape!
He say's to me, "It doesn't get any better than this...I stop and
take a few pics every morning! I'm working in paradise!" LOL
"Lucky you!", I said, and he went on his way. What a nice man.]

*[it seemed like five minutes of migrating gulls. The captain was moving us along slowly to catch it all in. A bird-line miles-long of seagulls! Almost as if the captain knew they'd be coming along at
this very moment! Could they see this bird-line from space!?! LOL]
*[I usually don't post 'blown-out' sun shots as I find they are
quite hard to look at, but occasionally I will forego that rule
if the color and texture of the whole frame overwhelms it]
