The Lights Beneath the Bridge

The Roosevelt Bridge crosses the St. Lucie River in Stuart, Florida

House of Refuge at Gilbert’s Bar, Hutchinson Island, Florida
It was full low tide along the Hutchinson Island when I visited the House of Refuge. I climbed down to the beach to stand before the Anastasia Formation to photograph the sunrise.

The Roosevelt Bridge

The Roosevelt Bridge is an incredibly photogenic landmark that connects U.S. Route 1 across the St. Lucie River in Stuart, Florida. This was taken about 4:45am, not much going on, but the area was empty and we could shoot.

Hollywood Beach Collection – 7-30-17

Hollywood Beach Photography

I took an early morning stroll along the broadwalk of Hollywood Beach and collected some wonderful images of that morning. The humidity was high creating a unique glow of the lights along the walkway. The sky was dark when I first got there and hardly anyone was about. The wind was almost still and there was a large storm cloud offshore with an occasional lightning bolt lighting the large cloud. As the sun rose, the colors became more pronounced and the night slowly turned to day.
