This is the monument at the southern most point of the continental USA, 90 miles to Cuba. I took this photo early in the morning when there was only one other person around. Later in the day this area gets very crowded with people wanting to take their picture next to the monument.

The monument says

Southernmost Point USA

90 miles to Cuba

I took this photo from Higgs Beach before the sun rose.

Before sun comes up

colors light the distant sky

Early morning joy

The camera shutter speed at 1/2000 of a second gave this type of affect showing the sun as a white ball.

A spooky sunrise

I took this photo during sunrise. I like the way that the sun shines through the gazebo.

I took this sunrise photo standing on the Rise Beach pier. Look closely and you'll see a faint arc across the clouds.

I took this early morning sunrise photo from Rise Beach. With the naked eye, at least mine, the sun was too bright to stare at.

I took this photo from top of the 65 ft Wrecker’s Tower. I believe the sail boat is from Classic Harbor Line (305-293-7245)

A long exposure

blurs all motion and color,

green water like glass

Because of the bright sunlight hitting the water an illusion is created. At least to me, it looks like I'm looking up at the boats.

The sun lit water

creates a nice illusion
