Six-Years Ago (25-December-2008) — Florida

Gone to See America. December 2008 Florida Road Trip. Day 4: St. Petersburg.

St Petersburg Pier from a Vinoy Hotel Balcony. Image taken with a Nikon D3x camera and 200 mm f/2 lens (ISO 100, 200 mm, f/11, 10 sec). Christmas Night 2008. I know that they are talking about taking the building down, but the lights were always great. I wonder if anyone has pictures from when there were several colored lasers shooting from the building all the way to St. Petersburg Beach and reflecting back.
