Le Sloppy Joe's Bar
Le bar préféré d’Hemingway, aujourd’hui envahi par des hordes de touristes. Le Sloppy Joe's était à l'époque situé quelques bâtiments plus loin, au 428 Green Street (aujourd'hui occupé par « Captain Tony's »). Il a depuis déménagé dans la principale artère touristique de la ville, 201 Duval Street. Le patron «Sloppy» Joe Russell inspira plus tard le personnage de Freddy le barman dans Hemingway's To Have and Have Not, publié en 1937. Il a également été mentionné dans le film de 1941, Citizen Kane. Russell était le pilote de bateau d'Hemingway et son compagnon de pêche. Mélange de souvenirs et de babioles des jours de gloire des années 1930 aujourd’hui le bar demeure l'un des établissements les plus populaires de la ville avec notamment le concours de sosies d'Ernest Hemingway organisé chaque année depuis 1981. Il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis 2006.
Hemingway's favorite bar, now crowded with hordes of tourists. Sloppy Joe's was located a few buildings further down at 428 Green Street (now occupied by "Captain Tony's"). It has since moved to the city's main tourist artery, 201 Duval Street. Boss "Sloppy" Joe Russell later inspired the character of Freddy the bartender in Hemingway's To Have and Have Not, published in 1937. He was also mentioned in the 1941 film, Citizen Kane. Russell was the Hemingway boat pilot and his fishing companion. A mix of souvenirs and trinkets from the glory days of the 1930s today the bar remains one of the most popular establishments in the city, notably with the Ernest Hemingway lookalike competition organized every year since 1981.

Shot through a bus window, so a bit "spotty." Still, I thought it was worth posting. On West 96th Street, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
An attempt of high key over exposure of the old pier at Swanage.
Trying the over exposure to blend the sky with the sea to create one backdrop.
The correct exposure with the 10 stop filter would of been 15 sec, but this was exposed at 3 minutes.
Notice the Seagulls on the front posts even during this long exposure.

Morning light bathes this tough bench / picnic table at Fort Armistead overlooking the Patapsco River and the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Stacked on the ND filters to smooth out the water and the clouds ... but the clouds though streaming are not that evident given the contrast and lighting by this time. But it does smooth out the sky there that allows for the sunlit bridge structure to really stick out which I liked in this image.
Exercise on low key lighting.

Dear friend, here are 5 things you should know:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
Sincerely,
Someone who cares about you
The Cosgrove House
Le capitaine Phillip L.Cosgrove, père, commandait le mangrove américain, le premier navire de sauvetage pour venir en aide aux victimes de l'explosion de l'U.S.S. en 1898. Maine dans le port de La Havane. Cette maison, acquise par Cosgrove en 1871, comprend des vestiges de la résidence d'un étage du juge fédéral James Locke. Afin d'accommoder sa famille grandissante, Cosgrove a payé 1 600 $ pour agrandir la maison à 2 1/2 étages. Rénové dans le style néo-grec, il présente un toit à pignon avec des balustres en gabarit et des volutes décoratives au sommet des colonnes carrées. Des adaptations au climat de Key West ont également été incorporées, notamment une citerne sous le plancher avec du poisson pour aider à garder l'eau fraîche et à éloigner les moustiques. Cosgrove a servi dans le service des phares jusqu'en 1906, lorsque son fils, Phillip, Jr., a pris ses fonctions. Trois générations de la famille Cosgrove ont occupé la maison jusqu'en 1947, date à laquelle la maison a été acquise par William Gamble (1916-1976), un bijoutier local et commissaire de la ville de Key West. Après la mort de Gamble, la maison a été transformée en 1978 en complexe hôtelier. La maison Cosgrove reflète le style architectural unique de Conch de Key West et a été inscrite au registre national des lieux historiques dans le cadre du quartier historique de Key West.
Captain Phillip L. Cosgrove, Sr., commanded the U.S. lighthouse tender Mangrove, the first rescue ship to aid victims of the 1898 explosion of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana harbor. This house, acquired by Cosgrove in 1871, incorporates remnants of federal judge James Locke's one-story residence. In order to accommodate his growing family, Cosgrove paid $1,600 to enlarge the house to 2 1/2-stories. Remodeled in the Greek Revival style, it features a gabled roof with jig-cut balusters and decorative scrolls at the tops of the square columns. Adaptations to the Key West climate were also incorporated, including a cistern under the floor with fish to help keep water fresh and keep out mosquitos. Cosgrove served in the Lighthouse Service until 1906, when his son, Phillip, Jr., took over his command. Three generations of the Cosgrove family occupied the house until 1947, when the house was acquired by William Gamble (1916-1976), a local jeweler and Key West city commissioner. Following Gamble's death, the house was converted in 1978 into a resort. The Cosgrove House reflects Key West's unique Conch architectural style, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Key West Historic District.
Key deer (odocoileus virginianus clavium), the smallest of all white-tailed deer, is a subspecies of the Virginia white-tailed deer. These deer inhabit Big Pine Key and various surrounding keys. They are not found anywhere else in the world.
Due to uncontrolled hunting and habitat destruction, their numbers were estimated less than 50 animals in 1940's. With the establishment of National Key Deer Refuge in 1957 and intensive law enforcement efforts, the population has since increased and has now stabilized. The estimated population is approximately 600 deer on Big Pine Key and No Name Key (this does not include other keys in the deer's range).Highway mortality is the greatest known source of deer loss.
The shoulder height of Key deer is between 24-28 inches. Does weigh 45-65 pounds while bucks weigh 55-75 pounds.
Rutting season activities begin in September, peaking in early October and decreasing gradually through November and December. Some breeding may occur as late as February. The gestation period is 204 days with fawns born April through June. At birth fawns weigh 2-4 pounds.
Antlers are dropped February through March, and re-growth begins almost immediately so that by June, bucks with 2-inch stubs are seen. Antler growth is completed by August, and velvet is rubbed and kicked off in early September.
Key deer feed on native plants such as red, black and white mangroves, thatch palm berries and over 150 other species of plants. Key deer can tolerate small amounts of salt in their water and they will also drink brackish water, but fresh water is essential for their survival. They must also have suitable habitat to ensure their future existence.
No records exist documenting the origin of the deer in the keys. It is believed the deer migrated to the keys from the mainland many thousands of years ago, across a long land bridge. As the Wisconsin Glacier melted, the sea rose dividing the land bridge into small islands known as the Florida Keys.
The earliest mention of Key deer is found in the memoirs of Fontaneda, a shipwrecked Spaniard held captive by the local Indians. Records suggest that the deer were found around Key West and were used for food by residents and ship crews alike. Although early records indicated sporadic wider distribution of Key deer throughout the lower keys, current data indicates they occupy a range from Johnson Keys to Saddlebunch Keys.

Saint Paul's Episcopal Church :
Au coin de la rue Duval et de la rue Eaton, se trouve la plus ancienne église du diocèse de Floride. L’église Saint-Paul a été construite à l'origine en 1839 en pierre de corail.
