Last strolling and maybe the last sunset too

The pier by the Southernmost House is jammed with tourists every evening. All cameras are ready for this glorious sunset event.

The sun is waiting some minutes for her appearance behind the clouds...

Here she comes...

and then she sinks like a fireball into the ocean.....

And all around me, the people are clapping their hands, happy and overwhelmed to see an other grandiose spectacle from mother nature.

After to see it for 7 years almost, it's still for me too, an exciting big show.

Last time Strolling down Duval Street - #2

Bahama Village is an enclave of new and spruced-up shops, restaurants, and vendors leading the way in the restoration of the historic district where black Bahamians settled in the 19th century. The village lies roughly between Whitehead and Fort streets and Angela and Catherine streets. Hemingway frequented the bars, restaurants, and boxing rings in the village.

Men in Key West have their own bar too, where man meet man...

The Key West New Year's Eve celebration was shown live on CNN.

No doubt about it...Key West love's to party. And what's a better excuse than New Year's Eve?

There were different gathering spots that offered their own unique version of the time honored tradition of lowering something special as the clock winds away the last seconds of the year.

And CNN's favorite was to see "Sushi", a local drag queen celeb, lowered from a Duval Street balcony, riding a huge high-heeled shoe.

Everything about Cuba, from great Art to fashion with the words Cuba on, you will find it here.

I like this simple and so typical architecture in America of this house front at Duval Street.

Typical for Key West are the vibrant colors everywhere you go,
like on this very cute looking Gingerbred House

I love the very special details on this house

All the time is Hammock time in Key West!

Click on the picture and read the red sign and the street sign on the wall!

To say Good bye to something you liked for almost 7 years is not that easy. Someone told me once "Never look back" only forward.
But here I had to do it and it will be probably one of the last
"Look back" photos of Duval Street.

My 465. post today - Simple and Easy

A very simple and plain sunset over Key West.
Where is here the "green flash"....?

Green flashes and green rays are rare optical phenomena that occur shortly after sunset or before sunrise, when a green spot is visible for a short period of time above the sun, or a green ray shoots up from the sunset point.

Green flashes can be observed from any altitude (even from the air). They are usually seen at an unobstructed horizon, such as over the ocean, but are possible over cloud-tops and mountain-top as well.
