Henry Flagler

The Men and the Dream

In 1912, a proud Henry Flagler rode the first train into Key West,

marking the completion of the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway's

overseas railroad connection to Key West and the linkage by railway

of the entire east coast of Florida. The FEC was the product of

Flagler's resources and imagination. Flagler's construction of hotels at

points along the railroad and his development of the agricultural

industry through the Model Land Company established tourism and

agriculture as Florida's major industries. Amazingly, Flagler

accomplished these feats after retiring from his first career. Flagler

had already founded the vast empire of Standard Oil with partners

John D. Rockefeller and Samuel Andrews, before becoming

interested in Florida. Flagler Street divides the City North and South

making it essection to learn its location as soon as you start learning

Miami gorgeous Cityscape! Automobiles has taking over Trains!

Thank you for looking. Comments/Rates appreciated.

I have lived in Miami for 48 years and I have seen express ways bilt and the City grow and re-invect it self. Now we are an attraction to many international bussines and we have people from all over the world.

I follow this truck for a few miles taking images acording to the sun rays, who was playing a trick on me, coming in and out from behing the clouds.  The strech of the Palmeto were I encounter this monster, has 8 lanes and we were moving about 70 miles per hour! Cars were getting in my way, I was taking the images throw the windshild and my rosary was getting on the way!

This is a nice capture with good managing light and well taken...Thnx that you are avoiding to get closer to the truck.But your risk to catch it is very admirable.Take care of yourself.

Preciosa luz, color, gran encuadre, perfecta nitidez,  Saludos Jorge.

A perfect and skillful capture while driving. Very interesting image. An interesting and informative writeup also. Best regards.

The cars look awfully precarious , I think I would have stayed well clear ! You were taking a big risk shooting whilst driving and it's amazing that the resulting images were so good . Regards , Bill

Excellent shot!...........Regards Kawan

...I assume you shot this one with your 'hands-free' camera...:)

it seems the risks taken resulted in a lovely photograph but perhaps U should desist in future from attempting such alarming tactics... 

Excelente captura y explicación de la calle Flager, muy buen trabajo. Gracias por tus amables comentarios.

Un abrazo.

Muy oportuna, Jorge, para quienes seran esos carritos tan nuevos y lindos?, da miedo manejar detras de ellos, parece a veces que se van a caer y quedaremos como una flat tortilla, ayy!  Muy buena, amigo. Mari

Amazing you got such a good detailed shot while driving, you crazy Cuban. Just kidding. That Honda in the back looks like it will fall off. Good work.

Sincerely,

Holger
