After our overnight on the island of Niadub, we explored the nearby island of Chicheme, a smaller island with fewer residents, beautiful beaches and nice snorkeling. This picture was taken during our short stay on Chicheme.

The Clewiston Inn (also known as The Inn) is a historic site in Clewiston, Florida, United States. It is located at U.S. 27, west of the junction with CR 832, and is the oldest hotel in the area of Lake Okeechobee. On February 21, 1991, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Clewiston Inn was originally built along the unprotected waterfront of Lake Okeechobee in 1926 by the Clewiston Company, the community and real estate development arm of Bror Dahlberg's Southern Sugar Company. Ownership passed to the United States Sugar Corporation in 1931 when Charles Stewart Mott formed the company and acquired the assets of the Southern Sugar Company, which went into bankruptcy in 1929. The building survived the great 1926 and 1928 hurricanes but was destroyed by a fire in 1937 and the classical revival style structure was rebuilt in 1938. The Everglades Lounge and Bar inside has a 360-degree wildlife mural featuring the flora and fauna of the Florida Everglades. It was created in the early 1940s by the J. Clinton Shepherd (1888-1975). This Palm Beach artist stayed at the Inn for many months, making frequent trips to the Everglades to sketch the animals.

This odd concrete structure was once part of the silver processing mill in Silver City, Utah. It has now seen over 100 years of decay and graffiti and now appears quite mysterious.

ENGLISH:
Its uniqueness as Sulphur Baths and the length of its use by man since historical times have come to enrich its role not only as a historical and scientific reality, but as a cultural element of the first order, which must have influenced the cultural heritage of the town since ancient times, and which also enjoys an ideal geographical location within the framework of a territory particularly rich in human activities since ancient times.
From the oldest geographical treaties that speak of the municipality of Casares, reference is made to the curative properties of the Hedionda spring and its location.
The historical importance is given by the spa area, initially Roman in its capture and adaptation to the use of the spring. Later remodeling, the result of the variation in the flow levels of the spring, caused the Arabs to retouch its structure and expand its walls and channels, brought to light in the last archaeological intervention at the beginning of 1990. In addition, from 2016, these baths have natural pools.
The complex of baths is completed with works from the 17th to the end of the 20th century, which are still partially preserved. Although the size of the remains found may seem to us to be little in keeping with the Roman magnificence of this type of construction, the studies carried out seem to confirm this Roman origin, although some alterations must have occurred to the primitive structure.
To avoid overcrowding, the Casares Town Council has implemented a series of measures, including limiting the capacity of the premises to 24 people, so it is necessary to make a reservation to access it during peak hours, established from 12:00 to 19:00 hours from July 2 to September 9. These reservations are free and for a period of one hour.

ESPAÑOL:
Su peculiaridad como Baños Sulfurosos y lo dilatado de su aprovechamiento por el hombre desde tiempos históricos han venido a enriquecer su papel no sólo como realidad histórica y científica, sino como elemento cultural de primer orden, que ha debido influir en el acerbo cultural del pueblo desde muy antiguo, y que goza además de una situación geográfica idónea en el marco de un territorio particularmente rico en actividades humanas desde la antigüedad.
Desde los más antiguos tratados geográficos en los que se habla del municipio de Casares se hace referencia a las propiedades curativas de la fuente de la Hedionda y su localización.
La importancia histórica viene dada por el recinto balneario, inicialmente romano en su captación y adaptación al uso de la fuente. Remodelaciones posteriores, fruto de la variación en los niveles de caudal del venero hace que los árabes retoquen su estructura y amplíen sus muros y canalizaciones, sacadas a la luz en la última intervención arqueológica en los inicios de 1990. Además, a partir del año 2016, estos baños cuentan con piscinas naturales.
El conjunto de los baños se completa con obras desde el XVII hasta fines del XX, aún conservadas en parte. Aunque la entidad de los restos encontrados, pudieran parecernos poco acordes con la magnificencia romana en este tipo de construcciones, los estudios realizados parecen confirmar este origen romano, si bien se deben haber producido algunas alteraciones de la primitiva estructura.
Para evitar la masificación, el Ayuntamiento de Casares ha puesto en marcha una serie de medidas entre las que destaca la limitación del aforo en el recinto a 24 personas, por lo que es necesario realizar una reserva para acceder al mismo en horas puntas, establecidas de 12.00 a 19.00 horas desde el 2 de julio al 9 de septiembre. Estas reservas son gratuitas y por un periodo de una hora.
Yesterday at the Maasvlakte beach there was too much to photograph. I took a few steps back from the sea, in the hope to find a composition without the rough sea. I found these small sticks with amazing sand structures around it and knew this was the shot.
