Revitalize

Welcome to the Brickell Financial District immediately south of downtown Miami. This entire district -- according to the locals and Wikipedia -- contains the highest concentration of international banks of any American city. Brickell is part of the greater downtown Miami area and actually has more people who work in this district than in downtown Miami itself. One could say the central business district of Miami is now Brickell.

 

This photo would not have been achieved without the help of Roberto, whose classy photography is already very familiar to many of you. When we met, the rain was pouring heavily, and we thought for a while that the blue hour and night would be spoiled. It seemed to start that way, but when the storm passed. . .WOW! As many of you know, the sky and atmosphere is cleansed after a heavy storm passes, so it really makes for some magnificent photography, especially after sunset in a densely populated area. Our patience paid off and time was on our side.

 

Roberto was a fantastic guide and showed me many vantages along the Miami River. We walked around downtown and Brickell. With the help of the free, public light rail system, the Metromover (which you see towards the right), we were able to get around downtown with very little effort -- and avoid getting drenched when the rain made a few more cameos!

 

Muchas Gracias, Roberto!
