Dunedin, Florida: Midnight At The Oasis, Dunedin Marina At Midnight

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Midnight At The Oasis, Dunedin Marina At Midnight Another shot from the last time I was lurking around Dunedin Marina at midnight. I love that place, and it only gets better at midnight. To see all the yachts and sailboats quietly 'nestled in their beds' for the night, with only the occasional whisper of a breeze, is really beautiful.

If you are ever in Dunedin, Florida, be sure to stop by and check out the Dunedin Marina, no matter what time of day it is. After all, it's a pretty place at noon too! :)

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina At The Witching Hour: Midnight!

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina At The Witching Hour: Midnight! Sailboats, Yachts, Night Photography If a person would happen to be in such a place as the Dunedin Marina, oh say, around midnight, a person just might luck into a shot like this! Not as easy as it sounds, in as much as they have numerous very bright security lights around the marina. This makes it difficult to get a good shot that doesn't have an image-wrecking light shining right into the camera.

Ironically, it's that walking around peering this way and that while looking for the best shot that gives one just the kind of 'casing the joint' look that you really don't want to have at that time of night. That being said... the marina is a really cool place late at night, if you're not subject to getting the heeby-jeebies.

It was very quiet. The only sounds were some soft clinking of hardware on masts as they swayed gently in a light breeze, and the flags at Bon Appetit flipping about.

Dunedin, Florida: Kiwanis Park Benches With A Waterfront View

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Kiwanis Park Benches With A Waterfront View In Dunedin, just off Alternate Highway 19, you can find some neat little parks. Many are nothing more than a couple of benches, a plot of grass, a seawall, and an awesome waterfront view. They may not seem like much to an athletinaut, but if you can find some quiet space in your mind, they are a great place to sit and ponder the universe. Of course, if you can't get your mind quiet, sitting and watching the water move for a while might help with that.

"... Mathilde smiled a tiny little smile of satisfaction as she reached the park and walked the narrow wavy sidewalk to the water's edge. She was alone in the small space, just her, the benches, the grass, and that wide blue-green expanse of water. Nothing there to distract her. Nothing to keep her from her appointment, her date.

Her curly white hair shifted only slightly in the sea breeze. The wrinkles on her lightly tanned face asserted her place in the history that had been her life so far. She folded tired hands in her lap, rested her stiff back against the green cradle of the bench. She felt the heat of the sun soaking into her body, her soul. It felt good. 'Surely', she mused, 'I must have some plant life in my bloodline'. The irony made her smile.

Settled now, she relaxed into an easy, comfortable vigil, staring out over the water. Her eyes lost their focus, as if she were looking at nothing. The nearer sounds slowly faded away, leaving the distant cries of the seagulls and the soft murmuring of the waves against the sea wall. Then, as she sat there in a trance like state, nearly oblivious of her surroundings, he slowly appeared before her.

She grinned broadly, like a young woman welcoming the appearance of her lover. 'Clarence, darling', she murmured. He took her hand, bent, and kissed it. She sighed deeply. A passing jogger wondered briefly at the lone, old woman sitting on the bench gesturing. Clarence sat down next to Mathilde, and she lay her head on his shoulder. 'It seems like I haven't seen you in so long Clarence', she whispered, 'I've missed you so'. He put his arm around her shoulders. 'I know darling, I 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 Main Street Shops

This will probably end up being a series also, in as much as there are a number of neat shops that I want to share with you. I believe the name of this shop is Palm Latitudes, and it fits! They have all kinds of cool stuff in there. Ceramic frogs that look so cool and awesome pirate t-shirts and napkins with funny sayings... you know the kind that have you standing there reading them for twenty minutes while you laugh your butt off! And lots and lots more stuff. Really cool. I rarely make it past this store when I am downtown. It is just too much fun. If you remember Cafe Alfresco, from a previous posting, then it will make sense when I tell you this shop is just down the sidewalk from there. But don't worry if that doesn't make sense to you... just get downtown and you will find it all. :) Oh, and yes, Brasov Daily Photo, the bench will be there waiting for you, on the waterfront.

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.

Dunedin FL Downtown Pt II - Entrance

Welcome to Downtown Dunedin Florida! This welcoming entrance brings you into the area that I posted a photo of earlier. It is one of those downtown areas that has been made so welcoming and attractive that you would enjoy going for a walk here just to experience the feeling, as if all the dining and shopping choices we not even there :). But you might want to consider a Downtown Dunedin lunch while you are here! When you come to Dunedin, or the Greater Tampa Bay area, you will want to visit Dunedin's Downtown!

Logistically speaking, this area is less than a mile from the Dunedin Marina, Dunedin City Hall, Mease Dunedin Hospital, and lots of beautiful housing and Dunedin real estate (Lots of which I will be posting on this site in the future). Not to mention a wonderful waterfront trail for walking, biking or skating.
