Snook's Shack





Can I call this play of colors? The resort where we stayed in Key Largo had a small restaurant in a shack style. In my home country, and in my state - Kerala, one can find these type of shacks, or rather call them in even local sense as typical Thattukada: - a smallscale roadside fast food eatery, which could be family owned and having limited items on the menu.
Even though I live in the bay area here in the US, I rarely get to enjoy dinner and a drink by the beach or for that matter facing the ocean. This was one such rare moment, with the restaurant lights reflecting in the beach and the twilight zone captured in all its self. The second picture is of the same restaurant which had one of its dining places on stilts inside the bay.

And after all this, who would want to miss the lovely sunset.

Contrast


Capturing the beauty of a sunset on the Miami Beach, one summer evening. What I love about this picture is its contrasting shades of blue and pink. Yeah this photo is primarily comprised of these two colors only, though you can catch a tinge of yellow on the guard house. The white sands of Miami has turned into pink by the hue of the sun, and the most surprising thing is that day sunset was not even visible, it was just the beauty of the clouds and the partial sun which gave the sand this color.
