THE ROCK

Seeing these rocks of coral in my yard reminds me that we are sitting here on nothing but a large coral rock all the time. Matter fact, some people call Key West "The Rock".

The Liberty Clipper

The sunset cruiser "The Liberty" is leaving the harbor.

A short Trip up to Marathon

Yesterday we took a short trip up to Marathon and stopped here and there on the way. This picture shows a inviting privat beach scene at Geiger Key.


Gestern haben wir einen kleinen Ausflug gemacht, die Keys hinauf bis nach Marathon. Wir hielten an diversen netten Orten, wie an diesem kleinen, sehr einladenden Beach auf Geiger Key.




Most everybody dreams of having a little island like this for their own privat getaway. Do you? It's right here in the Keys, come and get it.


Soviele traeumen von einer eigenen Insel wie diese hier. Gehoerst auch Du dazu? Sie ist hier in den Key's, die Insel deiner Traeume!

This is a view out from the car of the 7-Mile-Bridge who is connecting Big Pine Key and Marathon together. Between is nothing than water, water, water.... to the left the emerald green water of the Gulf of Mexico on the other side the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean.

Dies ist die 7-Meilen-Bruecke, welche Big Pine Key verbindet mit Marathon. Dazwischen liegt zur linken Seite das jadegruene Wasser vom Golf von Mexico und auf der andern Seite das tiefblaue Meer des Atlantischen Ozeans.

Almost there..... Marathon is just some miles away and visible already.

Bald sind wir dort, nur noch ein paar Meilen zu fahren, Marathon ist bereits in Sichtweite.

This is the view on the way back home to Key West: the old 7 Mile-bridge on the right and the new bridge to the left in the sparkling late afternoon sunshine.

Auf der Heimfahrt wieder nach Key West sieht man rechts die alte, nicht mehr befahrene 7-Meilen-Bruecke und links die neue Strasse im glitzernden Abendsonnenschein.

Island in the Sun...

Everyone knows Harry Belafontes song, "Island in the sun". Mustafa, our Calypso musician and the singer with the warm voice at the pier, sings this song every evening honoring to the sinking sun:

This is my island in the sun,

Where my people have toiled since time began,

I may sail on many sea,

Her shores will always be home to me.

This is the sunset of March 26th, 2007 in Key West

Mustafa, unser Calypsosinger am Pier huldigt jeden Abend der untergehenden Sonne mit Harry Belafonte's weltbekannten Lied: "Island in the sun".

Is this the boat that takes you over to the island of Santorini?... No, it's not.... This is just an old sponge boat sitting in Tarpon Spring harbor, a Greek village in Florida, where local men are still diving for sponges today.

Dieses Boat ist leider nicht die Faehre rueber nach Santorini...... Es ist nur ein altes Schwammboat, welches im Hafen in Tarpon Spring sitzt. Tarpon Spring ist ein huebsches, echt griechisches Dorf an der Westkueste in Florida, wo einheimische Maenner heute immer noch nach Schwaemmen tauchen.

It's gray and very windy today in "paradise"... that's why I put up this photo from 2 palmtrees at Higg's Beach in Key West. They match todays weather situation here the most, just now. We are waiting for the sun to come back again.

Das Bild der zwei sich im Wind wiegenden Palmen passt am Besten fuer die heutige Wettersituation im Paradies! Wir alle warten auf die Sonne....
