I participate in a weekly challenge, first was high key, then low key.......the challenge within the challenge was to use the same subject for both techniques. That explains why you're seeing my stack of tea cups yet again.
TGIF ❤️
L’imposante bâtisse qui a survécu aux ouragans et tempêtes de Floride est presque totalement enveloppée dans un environnement tropical. Les jardins entourant la maison sont luxuriants, un véritable havre de paix. Au milieu de ceux-ci on peut prendre le temps de se promener le long de la piscine et de profiter du parfum des gardénias qui fleurissent au bord de l'eau. Construite vers 1937-1938 pour la somme mirobolante de 20 000 dollars de l’époque (250.000$ actuels). C’était la première piscine enterrée de Key West et la seule et unique piscine de 100 miles. La piscine a une capacité gigantesque de 80 784 gallons alors qu’il n'y avait pas d'eau courante à Key West au moment de la mise en service. La construction de la piscine impliqua de forer jusqu'à la nappe phréatique et d'installer une pompe à eau pour récupérer l'eau salée afin de remplir la piscine. Il fallait deux à trois jours pour remplir complètement la piscine. En blaguant à propos du coût exorbitant de sa construction, Hemingway, un jour, sortit de sa poche une pièce d’un penny, l’enfonça dans le ciment encore frais du patio et annonça an riant, "Voilà mon dernier penny!" Les touristes peuvent encore voir cette pièce de monnaie, encastrée dans le dallage, dans le coin nord-est de la piscine.
The imposing building that survived Florida hurricanes and storms is almost completely wrapped in tropical surroundings. The gardens surrounding the house are lush, a real haven of peace. In the middle of these you can take the time to stroll along the pool and enjoy the scent of gardenias that bloom at the water's edge. Built around 1937-1938 for the staggering sum of $ 20,000 of the time (current $ 250,000). It was the first in-ground pool in Key West and the one and only 100-mile pool. The pool has a gigantic capacity of 80,784 gallons when there was no running water in Key West at the time of commissioning. The construction of the pool involved drilling down to the water table and installing a water pump to recover the salt water to fill the pool. It took two to three days to completely fill the pool. Joking about the exorbitant cost of building it, Hemingway one day pulled out a penny from his pocket, stuck it in the still cool cement on the patio and laughed, "This is my last penny!" Tourists can still see this coin, embedded in the paving, in the northeast corner of the pool.
Kye Gompa is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery located on top of a hill at an altitude of 4,166 metres above sea level, close to the Spiti River, in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh, Lahaul and Spiti district, India. It is the biggest monastery of Spiti Valley and a religious training centre for Lamas.
Pigeon Key is a small island containing the historic district of Pigeon Key, Florida. The 5-acre (2.0-hectare) island is home to 8 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, some of which remain from its earliest incarnation as a work camp for the Florida East Coast Railway. Today these buildings serve a variety of purposes, ranging from housing for educational groups to administrative offices for the non-profit Pigeon Key Foundation. The former Assistant Bridge Tender's House has been converted into a small museum featuring artifacts and images from Pigeon Key's colorful past. It is located off the old Seven Mile Bridge, at approximately mile marker 45, west of Knight's Key, (city of Marathon in the middle Florida Keys) and just east of Moser Channel, which is the deepest section of the 7-mile (11 km) span.
The island was originally known as "Cayo Paloma" (literally translated as "Pigeon Key") on many old Spanish charts - said[by whom?] to have been named for large flocks of white-crowned pigeons (Columba leucocephala Linnaeus) which once roosted there. During the building of Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad Key West Extension between 1908 and 1912, there were at times as many as 400 workers housed on the island. While these workers built many bridges along the route through the lower keys, the Seven Mile Bridge, spanning the gap between Knight's Key and Little Duck Key remains the largest and most impressive component of what was once referred to as "the 8th Wonder of the World". A number of buildings from the Flagler era remain on the island and are now part of the Pigeon Key Historic District.
Pigeon Key was one of the locations for the "Bal Harbor Institute" in the 1995 series of Flipper. It was seen in three episodes during season one including the pilot episode. It was also the site of the Finish Line of The Amazing Race 18 "Unfinished Business" in 2011.[2]
Twenty years of abuse to my front door lock and key. Black and White to make it look even more abused.
I knew that this would be my subject as soon as I read the theme for this week. This collection of antique keys in a vintage frame hangs in my office beside my computer. I had to take it off the wall to take the photograph because of glare reflecting off the glass.
The famous Key West and the special Highway 1 that hops from island to island all the way south. The US Navy base is remarkable with its star-shaped airfield.
Certains noms ont un parfum d’évasion ou de tropiques, et Key West en fait partie. A l’extrémité de la Route 1 qui court le long de l’archipel des Keys, presque toujours par l’eau des deux côtés, on y trouve une base majeure de l’US Navy, et le plus souvent une atmosphère de fête et de vacances.

Un nouveau collage de 68 photos, cette fois-ci ce sont les Keys de Floride. Cet archipel s’étend au Sud de la péninsule floridienne et le chapelet d’îles dessine une longue courbe, avec souvent juste la largeur pour y faire passer une route, et la mer des deux côtés. En zoomant (si vous cliquez sur le lien) vous pourrez suivre l’autoroute et passer d’île en île, ou vous perdre dans les nuances bleues de l’océan. L’image fait près de 200 km de long, mais on a survolé cette zone en quelques dizaines de secondes à peine ! www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2021/05/Florida_Keys_fr...
This Big Picture of the Florida Keys allows you to explore all the way down Highway 1 to the end, hopping from island to island, or see details in the shades of blue of the water. I am not sure why they are called The Keys, but maybe it is because it looks like a key from space? 🔑🤔 This collage was made from 68 pictures and spans around 200 km on Earth! www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2021/05/Florida_Keys_fr...

La Crêperie French Café or just French Cafe is in Bahama Village key West and is well worth a visit. It just across the road from Blue Heaven on Petronia Street
I am still not sure how I did it, but I made my way down to the dungeon. Surely Mary put the key right out here.
Wait, did the floor just move?!

SUNSET - Schooner Jolly Rover II - Key West Harbor
Key West, Florida U.S.A. - The Florida Keys - 11/30/24
Autumn Light '24 - Atlantic Ocean - red sails - full sails
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - taken from Fort Zachary Taylor]
The pretty America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore, the Jolly Rover II and many other tall ships are credited with helping to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years
to come. Always a joy to see skimming across Key West Harbor.
