Miami, Arizona

The last from Miami, as I move toward Phoenix and my fateful encounter in Superior, Arizona, which probably led to the ER in Phoenix. The trip is about finished.

This is the famous Miami Beach, Florida (USA).

 

It's an older shot taken on my Canon Powershot in 2017 on clearly what was a nice sunny day. What the shot doesn't tell you is that we were lucky to travel at all as Miami had been flattened by hurricanes less than a week earlier. In fact our 'art deco' hotel was condemned a couple of days into our stay and we had to be moved. The learning point here was that when they tell you it's hurricane season don't just assume it won't happen.

 

The beach has the iconic lifeguard huts dotted all the way along and you can see the downtown area in the background.

Whenever I travel, I am fascinated by the influx of people who I am surrounded by and the preoccupation of guessing whether they are residents of the city I am visiting or tourists like me. I can identify with the feeling of being displaced and somewhat discombobulated first by the every day experience of being alive and second by the act of traveling across the world so easily and quickly in a way that would have been unheard of even a hundred years ago. I do like the idea that we all come from somewhere and yet I also feel like geography might be a cruel illusion to keep molecules floating in space so desperately apart. I’ve always been against the politicization of borders and xenophobia. In my own country, there has been such a talk about walls and the criminalization of humans who have valid life stories and probably a great deal to teach us. The only real danger to the future of America is white supremacists and profit over people, which has been shaping the legislature here fore far too long.

 

In any case, I like to imagine a Miami, Spain. Perhaps, it is just as warm and tropical but with better architecture and more progressive politicians. Perhaps, you can pacify even the most agitated alligator there by feeding it papa bravas and distract DeSantis from further hate speech and harmful policies by trapping him for an eternity in some elaborate Gaudi architecture.

"I guess I think I feel alright

You come circling through the light

The skyline baby is bright tonight

 

What more perfect rendezvous?

The sundown paints the shadows through the daylight

Amy, on what we do

 

It looks like darkness to me, oh

Drifting down into Miami Miami..."

Florida East Coast GP40-2 419 was lugging some containers to the Port of Miami as a neat boat passes underneath.

 

Viewed from my balcony on Deck 12 on board the Virgin Valiant Lady shortly before launch, it provided a unique view.

 

Railfanning from a cruise ship was a first for me.

The South Beach Marina is the perfect place for those looking to enjoy a day on the water. You can rent a boat or join a fishing charter to explore the beautiful coastline. The marina offers easy access to the Atlantic Ocean and nearby islands.

Miami’s lifeguard towers are one piece of Miami’s highlights! Wynwood has its murals, Little Havana has its music and culture, and the Design District is super chic. But the lifeguard towers lining Miami Beach are iconic, unique and something it’s worth take a look a leisurely stroll to see.

We were leaving Miami on our cruise ship when I noticed this view, there are actually two boats and two planes in this shot, one of the planes is towing a banner.

This is another capture of a gorgeous sunrise from Miami's Deering Estate. This County Park is opened generally one (1) day monthly for sunrise and/or moonrise photos. It is definitely worth the entrance fee to enjoy such a spectacular event.
