What on Earth, I was asking myself, am I going to do about travelwithintent’s Look Up Look Down photo challenge while stuck on an island as flat as a pancake?
Then I spotted the lighthouse. And for ten bucks, they let you go up there. So I did.
A window on the way up. Needed to catch my breath.
Zooming in (through the window) on one of those cruise ships. Looks like a toy!
I’m at the top! The wind is nearly ripping my ears off.
Strange how the sky in this direction is so completely different from the blue skies on the other side. I quite like the moodiness, though.
Typical Key West house from above
This is Hemingway’s house

The near-grey scale in picture 4 is very cool with the red sails. It definitely sets a mood.

Thanks for going to all that trouble 😉 I love those moody shots, they are almost black and white but the boats add just a little colour. Lovely! I’m in Florida at the moment but we’re having a stormy day today!

I love lighthouse! I did not go to the one in Key West though. I will have to go the next time I am there. Love your pics!

Yes, go if you can. They also have a museum there (that’s why they charge ten bucks for the ticket), which is a bit dull, but the film about the lighthouse’s history is well worth watching. I was totally captivated by all those hurricanes which tore down an x-number of them.

Like that moody sky shot 🙂 I mean, blue’s boring, isn’t it? (not 🙂 )
