And for the most, I like the pictures after sunset when the whole sky turns into a deep red, purple or gold. It looks like fire in the sky.






We will visit also the beautiful and relaxing garden of the West Martello Tower down at Higg's Beach and admire all the flowers blooming in the yards.
Then, it's time to have a drink somewhere! You can choose what place you like better: The Green Parrot Bar, the "first and the last bar at A-1".... or....
The legendary Captain Tony's Bar where you can meet on certain days Captain Tony himself, an old charming man who had some drinks and talks together with Ernest Hemingway, back in the good old days.....
There is one thing what you never should miss in Key West: the most beautiful sunsets in the world! Like this one here:
Or take a ride with one of the sunset cruise ships leaving the harbor of Key West every evening.
Or just enjoy yourself sitting under a palmtree and watching the majestic setting sun.
Take a ride with the Seebago catamaran and capture this sunset picture with your camera.
Take a ride with the Conch train. It will guide you to all the landmarks of Key West and trough some of the picturesque little lanes with the pretty small conch houses.
Climb up the steps from the light house at Whitehead Street- across from the Hemingway house - to see the fantastic view over the island and to visit the museum inside.
Visit the "Secret Garden" a very nice and peacefull place to be. It's a quiet place in the middle of the island, away from every days hectic life and noise. Relax and enjoy the beauty of this tropical garden.
Have a drink or two in Sloppy Joe's Bar at Duval Street, the place where also Ernest Hemingway liked to hang out with friends.
Celebrate the sunset at Mallory Square where Performers, Magicians, Fire eater and Musicians are performing their shows every evening and where artists and craft persons are selling their work, like I do selling my photography to all the tourists. Come down there and see me.
Performers, jugglers, fire eater, clowns and escape artists are entertaining every night the tourists. Artists and craft people are selling their wares - where you can meet me and see my work.
Strassenkuenstler, Jongleure, Feuerspucker, Clowns und Entfesslungskuenstler unterhalten jeden Abend die Turisten am Pier, wo auch alle Kuenstler und Kunsthandwerker mit ihren Staenden dort anwesend sind - wo ihr auch mich antreffen koennt um meine Fotografien zu sehen.

A big attraction at the Hilton is Dominic and his trained cats, better known as the "Catman and his catshow". Family fun for everyone!
Als besondere Attraktion gilt "Dominic und seine Katzen". Er laesst die Katzen durch Reifen springen. Ganz besonders beliebt ist diese "Catshow" bei Familien mit Kindern.








The red color is very eye catching, isn't it? People at the pier are always asking me about my secret to how I end up with such a brilliant color in a picture. It is not a big secret! Just put a red filter on the front of your camera and a little bit of “touching up” in Photoshop – et voila, that’s all! That process made a simple picture into a mysterious looking sunset. Enjoy!
In diesem Bild hier ist ein einfacher Bildaufbau mit einer sehr intensiven roten Farbe verstaerkt worden. “Was mag wohl das Geheimnis sein dahinter”? “Wie machst du das nur”?, solche und aehnliche Fragen kriege ich sehr oft zu hoeren. Ich kann sagen, es ist keine Zauberei ! Man nehme: Einen Rotfilter, ein bisschen “touching up” in Photoshop – et voila, das ist alles! Und schon ist ein einfaches Bild farblich sehr ausdruckstark veraendert worden. Ich mag das Bild sehr.
