We went to pick up more family members to join us,
in the Fort Lauderdale airport's arrival area there was this statue in the window

In South Beach Miami there's an art gallery in the Art Deco Welcome Center

A couple of samples from there

Snorkeling floaters

roped floaters (Oil on canvas)



Communal Segway riding at Collins Ave in Miami



And cops doing their surveying from what looked like large ATV's



Lilies in the water around the Holocaust Memorial. It's all I can bear to show from there.



Then we had a downpour that made cars all but swim, and this is the sky from the car window after it was over

5. Thanks. Considering what you produce and show us

my travelogue stuff isn't worthy for you to even look at. So I'm glad you did.

7. Thanks. I am still getting used to a new lens and focal length.

That has been an adjustment. I'm loving the fast AF of the Sigma 19mm.

Images will be posted later.

3. I have "connected" through

the Miami airport and they do indeed have wonderful works of art displayed.

Your photos are great but your 'Lilies in the water" just blew me away! Everything is perfect . . . the sky, the reflection, the composition! Wonderful photo!

6. Thanks Callalily, the photo you liked was the one

in this part of my presentations I was concerned about because it looks a bit blown out to me. Whatever that means. Yet I needed to in my own mind say I was there (again) and that I was not ready to show more.
All of my family were devastated by the impact of what we saw, especially my mother who is one of the few remaining Germans who lived through the Holocaust, after all, they are now dying out. She was just 19 at the end of the war in 1944.
I have known her to read stacks of books on the subject to make up for that at that age she could not figure out what was going on. And she is not in the least finished with that.

This forum we have here allows amateurish photos or I would never be able to entertain you.
Thanks.
