Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event 4

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event 4 Did I mention the whole golf thing going on? It was the neatest thing. They had this mini driving range net setup, and the man in the knickers was cracking the stuffing out of those golf balls with oak handled clubs! How cool! Look beyond the action and you will see how close the hotel is to the water. The golf demonstration was setup right out on the front lawn.

Although I did not get the name of the Roaring Twenties Golfer, I did get to meet the man watching him. That is Devin Marks, Director of Reclaiming Our Heritage. It's a rather interesting organization, which developed the Florida Heritage Celebration, as I understand it. Click the names for more information.

Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event 3

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event 3 It was such a glamorous evening! Did I mention the FLAPPERS? Yowza, what a showing. These two beautiful ladies certainly lit the place up, I can tell you. I just love their costumes! It seemed like the only thing missing was a lineup of antique cars, discharging carloads of Flappers at the front steps.

The Fenway is a beautiful old landmark hotel, right on Edgewater Dr., with stunning views of the bay beyond. It has been bought by a local man who wants to restore it to its former glory. Certainly it looks much better from the front, already! If you'd like to read about owning a piece of the historic Fenway Hotel landmark, click here.

Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event 2

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event 2 This was the scene at the Fenway Hotel on Edgewater Dr. Monday evening. Quite an interesting party they had, with all sorts of Who's Who types. What fun! It was so cool to see the folks that dressed in period costume of the Roaring Twenties, Flappers and all!

I especially enjoyed getting a bit of a look at the interior of the Fenway's lobby. Amazing to imagine the guests coming and going through these same halls and lobby so many years ago. One would think it would be fantastic to have it restored and re-opened!

Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event The Fenway, revisited. There was a cocktail party of sorts this evening. At the Fenway Hotel (The Fenway On The Bay), people interested in the preservation of local history and local landmarks gathered to meet and greet each other, and talk about the potential beauty of this grand old hotel. What a splendid evening. And what splendid goings on, and splendid pictures.

You simply must come back tomorrow to see more! There were numerous people in period costume, including a 'right smart chap' giving a golf ball a hard time! It's a beautiful place, and I hope I can show you some images that do it justice. Please, come back tomorrow and let me know.

Dunedin, Florida: Waterfront Trail by Edgewater Drive

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Waterfront Trail by Edgewater Drive This is the trail next to Edgewater Drive that follows the waterfront for a few miles. In fact, it starts in Clearwater, at the southern border of Dunedin and will take you all the way north to the Dunedin Marina, just a block from Downtown Dunedin. Pretty cool. It's a beautiful, peaceful place to walk. Great for strolling while you watch the sunset. This is not part of the Pinellas Trail, although it is just as nice.

In this picture, you are looking North, and the Dunedin Marina is just beyond those condos you can see at the left. This was taken just a little before sunset.

Dunedin, Florida: Edgewater Drive: Waterfront Light Show: Sunset

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Edgewater Drive: Waterfront Light Show: Sunset A light show of a different sort. Truth. Light. Water. Sky.

The quintessential Florida life. There is the sky: mostly blue, mostly clear. There is the water: bluish green, supporting of life and leisure. The light, from the Sun that shines so often and so brightly. There is Truth... the truth of Florida, of Dunedin, of Edgewater Drive, of a man wade-fishing, the sun setting, the palm trees silhouetted against the flaming horizon. The Truth of simply being, wherever and whenever you may be, whoever and however you may be, whatever and whyever you may be. Truth. Simply True.

Dunedin, Florida: Edgewater Drive: Waterfront Light Show

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Edgewater Drive: Waterfront Light Show The funny thing is, it didn't look like a light show when I was down there snapping pictures! It just looked like cars driving by, and the sun going down, and a beautiful golden glow covering all the wonderful homes there.

I know these pictures are easy to come by, but it doesn't seem to keep me from taking some more of them whenever I get the chance. It's like clouds, trees, and so on... there are certain subjects that, no matter how many images of them I might already have, I always snap some more when I see it again. Oy! What about you?

Dunedin Florida - The Fenway On The Bay

This is the Fenway On The Bay resort hotel. It is located in Dunedin, Florida, on Edgewater Drive, where I showed you this home, and that home. It opened in 1925, and is now the subject of a campaign to save it. See the photo below. You can check out the Save The Fenway website here.

This photograph was taken right at sunset, so the building's sunset color was accentuated even further. It is a beautiful old part of Dunedin's history. In fact, as you will read on the Save The Fenway website, the first ever radio broadcast in Pinellas County (that's where we are), was broadcast from the Fenway during opening ceremonies! It's cool stuff, complete with lots of photos. Check it out.

A picture of the sign that alerted me to the campaign, and a second photo of the Fenway, with less 'sunset' on it.

Dunedin Florida Waterfront Home

Another in an intermittent series on the styles and variety of homes in Dunedin, Florida, a little slice of Dunedin real estate. This one is also on Edgewater Dr., right across the street from the water. Very nice homes along here. You can see a neighboring home by clicking here. Also, for Kerri, who requested a close up of the bench in the previous sunset picture: I hope this is close enough... when you click on it. And thanks for your enthusiastic response to the Decorated Light Poles post. I am in the process of capturing the rest of that crowd, and will post accordingly.

Dunedin Sunset on Edgewater Drive

As I finished my shooting of the homes and the trail along Edgewater Drive, I looked back one more time. This shot is the culmination of a large group I took (See Nov. 14 post below for a few of them). You can see one of the benches, with the wavy line, that are sprinkled along the biking & walking path there. I truly had no idea just how well this would come out. I knew I had to try. It just seemed like one of those special moments. I hope you like it.
