This view belongs to an area that has always caught my attention and I almost always end up walking even if it's a few blocks in Downtown Miami, it belongs to the so-called Miami Riverwalk, that is, this road that certainly does not belong to the river but rather, this part is from Biscayne Bay and is still called in this way until SE 15th Road, and maybe do you not believe but not many of the area do not know the name.
That view of those buildings is what's called Brickell Key, it's an island linked by a bridge to Downtown Miami

My dear Flickr friends,
Sorry for disappearing so suddenly. I meant to leave this note yesterday, but it was extremely crazy at work and then my computer crashed just before I was about to leave to go to the airport.
I just arrived in Austria where I'll be visiting friends and family. I won't be online too much over the next three weeks but will check in as often as I can, if I can handle the slow dial-up internet connection at my parents' place that is... so not too often... cause it took me 5 minutes to get to the homepage... LOL. Uploads will be impossible at this rate.
Till later. Hugs!

Brickell Key - Miami - Florida, Untied States
I have so many travel photos just sitting on my hard drive that I have decided to kick off an international photo series. I will be digging into my archive to showcase some unique places around the world. Hopefully it will inspire you to pack your bag and book that next trip!
To start things off, let’s head down to Miami. This first photo is a view from my hotel room taken on a recent business trip in September of this year. It was captured just after a tropical storm made its way through Southern Florida.

Brickell Key is a man-made island off the mainland Brickell neighborhood of Miami, Florida, United States. Also called Claughton Island, the neighborhood is just east of Downtown Miami and the Miami River.
In 1896, Henry Flagler organized a 9-foot (2.7 m) deep channel dug from the Miami River mouth, creating two islands in the process. In 1943, Edward N. Claughton, Sr. bought the Brickell Key islands and other land to combine them into a 44-acre (180,000 m2) triangle-shaped tract. In the late 1970s, Swire Properties bought most of the island from Claughton.
