Miami Beach through my lens: December

For the last installment of Miami Beach through my lens, I decided to feature my favorite place in Miami Beach: the beach, of course!
It's such a luxury (and a blessing) to live right by the beach. Whether it's a walk by the beach early in the morning or at sunset, or spending the day lounging in the sand, or a bike ride by the boardwalk, over-viewing the ocean, I find that going to the beach (and taking a dip in its warm waters), it's restorative and relaxing.

My favorite spot is between 1st and 3rd St, right by South Pointe Park. I love that it's almost always empty, it feels very secluded and private.

 

I've said this many times, but I can't believe another year went by. I showed you my favorite places in Miami Beach, but there are many other places I've discovered and fell in love lately. I'll keep sharing my finds with you.

This project has been an ode to my city. I truly love living here and I'm excited about discovering the Magic City. Stay tuned!

To see the whole Miami Beach through my lens project: go here.

Miami Beach through my lens is a photographic quest to discover the great city of Miami Beach.

Starting January 2014, I will explore a new place every month throughout the year, and share my findings with you. Armed with my trusty camera, I aim to get to know this wonderful city better, and improve my photography skills as I go. Tag along!

Hut on Sleds

I could totally see myself living in this adorable hut located in the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand. This hut was designed by Crosson Clarke Carnachan Architects. From their site:

"Designed to close up against the elements, the hut measures a mere 40 square metres and rests on two thick wooden sleds that allow it to be shifted around the beach front section. This innovative portability is a response to the ever changing landscape that line the beachfront in this coastal erosion zone."

A sign in space

"A graphic star-pattern composed of truck tires is printed as a relief on the sand at Laga beach during low tide. At high tide the pattern will slowly vanish as the tide rises."

Miami : An explosion of color

I daydream about going to South Beach, lay on the beach and drink colorful cocktails. And I want to wear this while I do that.
