Evening light

Evening light at the beach.
In five minutes or less the sun will be gone and the night moves in over Key West from the Atlantic.
These are the very last sunbeams in the palm crowns before it's getting darker and you will see soon the raising moon coming up on the horizon.

Beaches and Palms

A Full Moon Night in Paradise

It was a wonderful full moon night in paradise!

Absorb me in your luminesence
Sparkling pathway of your fluorosence
Dancing in the sky
Lovers looking at you sigh
Oceans leap and surge
Stars whirl and merge

Purple Sunset

After a big rainfall the sky looks sometimes like this when the sun is setting down.

Purple, Orange and Golden Sky

The whole sky was colored into a deep purple after this spectacular sunset.

A classic red sun over the mangrove island painted the sky in a deep red-orange.

And this is how it looks after a hard rainfall when the sun decides to come back again to set down and to show us her golden glow in the sky and over the water.

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.
