Photos: Miami Day trip

[Brickell]

I had a some time to kill before work so here we go...

After a bus trip from suburban Kendall I started at the Dadeland Station Parking garage for some quick shots of Dadeland

"Downtown Dadeland"

Towers of Dadeland (still trying to remember why I took this one)

Here comes the Metrorail

At the Dadeland North station, notice the Britto sculpture

let's go get on the train, next stop: downtown

Shaq is spying on me. Freedom Tower and a cruise ship also making an apperance.

Downtown and Brickell a couple of stops away

New Federal Courthouse u/c. Metromover posing for me.

Central Baptist Church

Downtown still has a lot of grit

One of the first residential rehabs for downtown. The Congress Building

Brickell on the River presiding.

I heart Miami

Nice rehabs

Lean back

A classic

topped out.

Tequesta monument

Old and New

That was the end of the roll, next on to Brickell... (hopefully coming soon)

Awesome! I love a good Miami photo thread! Those MetroRail trains are so old and crappy-looking; I can't wait for the rehabilitated trains and stations!

Great job, Brickell.

The glass walls on the the US Courthouse have come out very nicely. There was also some good street activity that day.

I've been meaning to do this, but one of the neatest shots to take is as you leave Vizcaya Metrorail station and the tracks temporarily go to the ground, and suddenly rise again. The Brickell portion of the skyline comes into clear view and then everything from Brickell to Omni districts is in focus.

Thanks guys. It was a weekday and Downtown is usually humming with shoppers, business people and travellers most of the day.
