Description
Fishing boats congregate between the old and new Seven Mile Bridges in the Florida Keys as evening advances. The bridge on the left is the newer version which connect Marathon Key to Bahia Honda Key and is part of the Overseas Highway connecting the Florida mainland to Key West. The bridge on the right is the original. A section is still open for bicyclists and walkers. It is a 1.2 mile walk on this link between Maraton and Cabbage Key. Evening is a popular time for getting out. The original Seven Mile Bridge is a converted railroad bridge after the the railroad ceased in 1935. The handrails are the original rails from the bridge when it was part of the Overseas Railroad.
This image is part of my photographic art series. I use several digital tools working off of one of my photographs. It gives me great satisfaction to produce one of these artworks.
