This image is from the observation tower at Shark Valley in Everglades National Park, and was made with the Canon 70-200mm f/4 that has quickly become my favorite lens for nature and landscapes. The sun was setting behind us and the moon had risen ten or fifteen minutes earlier. It was a beautiful evening.

(The Photographer’s Ephemeris looks like a useful tool for planning shots of this type.)

These buildings face West and often show vivid sunset reflections.

This is Southwest 8th Street at around 5:00 AM, taken from the sidewalk in front of the old Home Depot. Not the most elegant place to hang out, but there’s worse.

There’s a lot of work to be done in a port or harbor and these are some of the guys who do it.

The Shark Valley observation tower is a great vantage for bird watching.
