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.

Gone to See Florida –2010 Road Trip. Day 2: St. Petersburg Pier at Sunset.

It is much warmer in St. Petersburg. I took this image of the Pier from my balcony at the Vinoy Hotel. The lightweight Leica V-Lux 20 camera is a great travel camera, and I am looking forward to having it in my pocket while in Patagonia.

Gone to See Florida 2008 Road Trip Day 4: St. Petersburg Pier Holiday Lighting from the Vinoy Hotel.

I was staying a the Vinoy Hotel and had a window/balcony that looked out over Tampa bay. Over the holidays, the St. Petersburg Pier, which looks like an inverted pyramid is lit up with colored lights that change every few minutes. I am really liking the resolution with the new Nikon D3x camera.
