Key West! Just the name alone conjures up a smile, doesn’t it? For who could not love Margaritaville? In many places, day’s end is just that: the end of the day. Not so in Key West, though... for there, especially around the Mallory Square area and Duval Street, the party is just getting started when the sun goes down. This does not mean that everyone is starting their day out, though... far from it.These sailors had been out on the ocean for the day, and as the sun set, their day was drawing to a close. Chasing the last of the sun across the waters, they were making for safe harbor, which, as it turns out, was just to the right of this photo. One of the great things about Key West is that some day, just as the sun dips below the horizon, the most amazing colors spring to life, but just for a moment. This is exactly in the middle of the moment; I loved the deep, rich tones of the sky, the sharp contrast of the clouds that had been lingering throughout the day, the faint reflections of the sun on the water, even though the sun was below the horizon. It was a beautiful site and, as always, I was thankful to have had a camera at end.
