Looming back towards downtown Miami Florida from the Port Road Bridge at sunset.

On a weekend staycation to Miami, staying downtown on the riverfront I took the obligatory night walk with my camera on a tripod.
As I was walking back accross the Port Road Bridge toward downtown the arean where the Miami Heat call home presented itself in what I think is a pretty photogenic way.
I set up my tripod and grabbed some shots. Inside my head I was thinking that shots from the front were going to turn out better, the wide angle architecture shots.
But over time I have settled on this one as my represntation.

Here is a photograph of some tall buildings I captured years ago while on a stay cation to Miami from St Pete. Its downtown on the riverfront, just some of the tall buildings, appearing to lean due to the exaggerated wide angle lens used.
Architecture is one of my favorite subjects to photograph, old or new. Big or small.

On a weekend staycation in Miami I was able to walk around the downtown riverfront area. One of the things that caught my attention was this tall, older building illuminated in red light. up untill this point i was not aware of any history or meaning, just that it looked pretty cool, and a perfect opportunity to set my camera up on its tripod and take a long exposure.
I found out later it was the original headquarters for the Miami news and then later as a Cuban refugee center, nicknamed the Ellis Island of the South.
Being a second generation descendant of Polish/Italian immigrants via Ellis Island myself, I thought that was pretty cool.
