This was taken a little before dawn at Coconut Grove. I think this is called a shelf cloud and it was very dramatic. As it became lighter, it faded and it and the sun came out.

This image was taken in Vero Beach, Florida in February, 2023. While in Vero I was going on early morning walks each day. The sun rises were spectacular each day. This particular day there was an eerie blanket of fog lying on the ground. The fog and sun rise made for an interesting combination.

This image was taken at the Key Biscayne Yacht club on November 20, 2022. A very bad storm was building over downtown Miami which you can just make out in the background. The skies looked very ominous. I wanted to capture that feeling. I was on the second floor of the clubhouse when I took this picture. I thought the higher angle added some interest. Post processing was done with Lightroom Classic.
