From the Bahia Honda State Park we had a good view of the old rail bridge, which now cannot be completely traversed as sections are demolished.
Bird life on the beaches gives the naturalist and casual observer much to see. This was at Bahia Honda State Park.
This is the beach at Bahia Honda State Park, which is claimed to be the best in America. It had the appearance on a Caribbean island beach, but less crowded.
At Key West, the port area is interesting to visit, with cruise ships berthed on the quay.
Ernest Hemingway's house, which we did not have time to visit.
The Southernmost point in the USA. Cuba is only 90 miles away.
At Key West you can often hear roosters crowing and I managed to snap this one in a tree, near the lighthouse.
The Lighthouse - 88 steps to the top.
The view of Key West from the top of the lighthouse.
An evening shot, standing on the old rail bridge looking northwards at Seven Mile Bridge.
The Sombrero Beach at Marathon was relatively free from crowds, with a coral reef and golden sands. We thought it was better than the beach at Bahia Honda National Park.
We found this Key Deer near the end of No Name Key. They are a very minute species, fully grown they are less than three feet high.
He was amazingly tame and crossed the road towards us, within a few feet of the car. It is illegal to feed these deer, but apparently they were fed in the past and therefore have no fear of cars or humans.
This is the original accommodation the bridge builders had at Pigeon Island, at the beginning of the 20th century when the Seven Mile Bridge was built.
Looking South from Pigeon Island gives a good view of the "hump" on the new Seven Mile road bridge on the left, with the original rail bridge on the right.
