Miami Beach Lifeguard Shacks

A combination of drone and land-based photos from our last Miami trip.  I tried to photograph the lifeguard shacks at different times of the day.

Chernobyl Abandoned Boats

It’s great to see and hear about the Ukraine people fighting back and not letting the Russian military run right over them.  But I can only imagine the toll they are paying in blood to make that happen.  I stand with Ukraine!!

Here are some photos I took (pre-war) of abandoned ships in the Chernobyl River (technically this is near Pripyat which is the city next to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plants.

41st Street Lifeguard Shack

Miami has very cool lifeguard stations along Miami Beach. I don’t know how many variations they have, but they are all a wonderful Art Deco style. This is the one at 41st Street during sunrise.

If someone watched me while I photographed this spot, I”m sure they wondered what was wrong with me. I didn’t have time during the sunrise to photograph multiple lifeguard shacks, they are too far apart. So, I probably took 500 photos of this one from different perspective, different light (before, during and after the sunrise), different cameras, etc.. I’m sure they thought I lost my mind….. Maybe I did, but I think the final product was worth it. Oh…and the homeless people sleeping under the lifeguard shack probably wondered about me as well.
