Door to nowhere - Main Street

Here comes the sun!

Going, going ...

Cedar Key's iconic shack has been on its way out for a long time. Somehow, it manages to hang on. For how much longer is anyone's guess.

Ceramic tiled fish

On Main Street in Cedar Key there is an area which includes a store where artists hang out and work and sell their creations.  Part of this area is set aside as an artsy park where items created by local artists are displayed.  This is a fish, a piece of a larger project which includes a fisherman.  You can tell by the line coming out of the fish's mouth that it has been hooked.

You might call it a Redfish, but it doesn't look like any Redfish I've seen!

Island Tours

Unfortunately, Island Tours was closed on this particular day because of the high winds and high seas.

Fresh water for the people

Because of rising seas, saltwater had intruded into Cedar Key's water supply and made it unfit for drinking. Thus, the authorities arranged to have water trucked in to the island. In this scene, vehicles have lined up to receive their free water. I don't know how the matter was resolved.

Caught!

For many young boy, it just doesn't get any better than this!

Old phones hang around not up

As I recall, this was part of an art project - an old phone, in two pieces, set in a wood crevice in an old building on Main Street.  I'm not sure what the point was, but would guess it had something to do with communication - that maybe we should get off the phone and have more one-on-one conversations; that we should not let technology run our lives.

My friend, Danielle, visited Cedar Key recently and took a photo of this "project" also.  Please check it out on her blog, Unconventional Photography.  Her title is much more apt.

End of the pier

Someone once told me to take a long walk off a short pier. I didn't think that was very nice because after a few minutes, I found myself in deep water.

I didn't know that...

The view on main street...

Private plane

This private plane was parked at the end of the airstrip at Cedar Key.  There is no actual airport.  But at certain times of the year, the airstrip is quite busy.  Some folks who live along the airstrip park their planes in their yards.
