Clearly, jim44444 is just to the right of the photo, where everyone is looking. He's putting the finishing touches on a live outdoor woodworking performance. (It's a performing art?) The question is, is he wearing a cap, glasses, and a red & white striped shirt? Or maybe I missed the question. ;-) |

bballgirl, DryCreek, nancyb. Everyone should visit Key West 1 time. The sunset celebration on Mallory Square is a great time. It has been a wild week with daughters and Son-in-laws and 4 grandkids. A lot of good food and drinks.

DryCreek, are you suggesting that I am working my wood in public? Again?

bballgirl , DryCreek , nancyb . Everyone should visit Key West 1 time. The sunset celebration on Mallory Square is a great time. It has been a wild week with daughters and Son-in-laws and 4 grandkids. A lot of good food and drinks. I can only echo even though I don't drink. If you do drink, even better as you are on an island and not driving anywhere. I remember stumbling out of Capt. Tony's once. I recognized Mallory Square immediately. Was there on my honeymoon. Stayed on Big Pine Key and saw the tiny deer. Loved Hemingway's house, its cats, and its stories. |

Stayed on Big Pine Key and saw the tiny deer. Loved Hemingway's house, its cats, and its stories. I too have left Capt. Tony's ĺess steady than whence I entered. I had the pleasure in times past to speak with Capt. Tony. The people here are remarkable, they all seem to have a story. Some here for multi generations, some only here a few weeks. A former research director at a cancer research facility now runs a dinner cruise charter. A former special education teacher selling artwork at a gallery. A farmboy from Missouri is now a dive captain. Even the panhandlers have a story, they always have a story. Give them a dollar and you have 15 minutes of human saga. And yet, as I wrote in a PM to a friend, in spite of all the beauty and humanity there remains a hollowness. It is good to share this with my family loved ones but it would be better to share with a lover. |

Looks a lot like StKilda Esplanade in Melbourne Australia.
But -
- The cars are on the wrong side of the road
- Insufficient meth dealers evident
- There is no drunken brawling evident
- The street lights all seem intact rather than smashed
So it obviously is NOT StKilda Esplanade.

Pretty sunset but is it always that crowded? I feel claustrophobic in those masses of people. But if you appreciate them and their stories then it looks like a fun place for you. Sorry you couldn't experience it with a lover.

Sorry you couldn't experience it with a lover. I am with you on the crowds, i'd rather be on a boat or sitting on a mountain enjoying the sunset. But there is something about the energy from the crowds of people. |

It clears our quickly after sunset. Sometimes it is worse during special events. |
