Miami (/maɪˈæmi/; Spanish pronunciation: [miˈami]) is a seaport city at the southeastern corner of the U.S. state of Florida and its Atlantic coast. As the seat of Miami-Dade County, the municipality is the principal, central, and the most populous city of the Miami metropolitan area and part of the second-most populous metropolis in the southeastern United States.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Miami's metro area is the eighth-most populous and fourth-largest urban area in the U.S., with a population of around 5.5 million.
Miami is a major center, and a leader in finance, commerce, culture, media, entertainment, the arts, and international trade. In 2012, Miami was classified as an Alpha−World City in the World Cities Study Group's inventory. In 2010, Miami ranked seventh in the United States in terms of finance, commerce, culture, entertainment, fashion, education, and other sectors. It ranked 33rd among global cities. In 2008, Forbes magazine ranked Miami "America's Cleanest City", for its year-round good air quality, vast green spaces, clean drinking water, clean streets, and citywide recycling programs.
According to a 2009 UBS study of 73 world cities, Miami was ranked as the richest city in the United States, and the world's fifth-richest city in terms of purchasing power. Miami is nicknamed the "Capital of Latin America" and is the largest city with a Cuban-American plurality.

Fifteen minutes from downtown Miami, but a world apart.
HFF!
Stepping in a completely different direction for a little while...I recently returned from a short work trip to Miami, Florida. I tried taking advantage of a few free moments in the morning to capture the beauty of the area.

Sun dipping below the skyline from Key Biscayne, painting the sky in incredible shades of rust and gold. The water is liquid copper, and the clouds are putting on a dramatic show. This is pure Miami magic.

I haven't posted for a while. Just too much going on in most areas of my life. It's been an endless summer. A very hot one too!
In all my years living in Miami, I don't remember experiencing so many spectacular summer sunsets, ideal for long road-biking rides into the dusk hour (as shown,) along the Key Biscayne island. Not the usual late afternoon thunderstorm we normally have on daily basis during the this time of the year.
This is a beautiful view of the Biscayne Bay, with Coral Gables in the horizon, on a low-tide and very hot summer late afternoon.
Enjoy!

This was the little tree nobody liked and I was hanging out at waiting for sunset on Saturday. I shot this maybe 20 minutes before sunset.
I don't know why nobody was at this tree, all the other ones around were occupied; maybe because it was rather small? The singles tree? Perfect for me then... LOL. It was actually quite comfy sitting on the tree waiting for the sun to dip below the horizon.
Thanks guys for all your comments on this little tree, I am sure you made it happy after it was being so neglected at the beach.
Well here sitting under this bush of Seagrape in the shade and letting time pass, anyway the time does not matter to me ☺

Key Biscayne is a Florida town on a barrier island across the Rickenbacker Causeway from Miami. It lies between 2 large parks Crandon Park and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park each with long, sheltered beaches, mangroves and tropical forest inhabited by birdlife, butterflies and loggerhead turtles. The latter is home to the 19th-century Cape Florida Lighthouse.
Taking a bike ride to Key Biscayne, long before sunrise, reminds me of Tom Hanks' famous dialog part in Forrest Gump: "... life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."
Ever so often, when I have an opportunity, especially with the uncertain weather forecast in Miami, I take a camera in a backpack with me.
Most of the times I will not even take the camera out.
However, today I got a very special treat with this fantastic sunrise setting in Crandon Beach. To top it off, a fishing boat started to come slowly into the scene. I moved on my bike along the trail in anticipation of the movement, and I was able to frame it. Bingo! Lucky enough I packed the camera with a 70-200 lens. The image is full frame without cropping.
