Pictures from my March 2004 trip to see my family in Florida.

I went to Florida for a week to visit my father Jerry and his wife Veronique.

They have a perfectly nice house, although their taste is a bit sterile for me. This is a picture of the housing development where they live.

The dining rooms looks striking in the evening.

I didn't have to move anything around to take this picture. The teakettle was sitting on the stove when I came home one day, lit by a light from above, and I decided I liked the way it looked.

Across the pond from the house is this gazebo. I wanted a version of this picture with a sunset, but sadly there were no obliging sunsets while I was there.

I also wanted this picture with a sunset behind it, but the lack of brightly colored sunsets interfered with my desire.

We had dinner one night by the beach in Clearwater. I wanted to see the sun set over the gulf, and I did.

In downtown Tampa, I saw this excellent piece of art. It's a single-surface wire mesh toroid.

Some of the architecture was also interesting.

The lighting here is not very good, but the palm trees in the the palm tree arboretum (which took me two hours to find in spite of parking 50 feet away from it) were quite impressive.

My night time pictures of palm trees lit by street lights were not everything I had hoped for, probably because of the very limited range of the digital camera. I'll have to try again with film.

The advantage of the digital is the ability to set the exposure for the three color channels independently by using the white balance feature. In this picture, the lights around the pond were actually sodium vapor lights, but you couldn't tell that by looking at it.
