Very nice set! I want to get there. Did you have a chance to snorkel - it's supposed to be a great spot for that.

Roxie....Overnight camping is a better alternative, I did not have enough time for anything on this little island!

Thx

Last week we took a trip to Marathon/Key West and booked a ferry day trip to Dry Tortugas NP. It was a great trip even the sunset scenes had not been the best.

Enjoy the pictures...
My wife and I spent a week in Key West and decided to splurge on a flight to Fort Jefferson on a seaplane. It was a very enjoyable trip and I have attached a picture of Fort Jefferson taken from overhead the fort as I feel this view will help tie all your great shots together. Good work!

Wow Shaun!

I love your shot very much which would tie all my shots together very well.

How much you paid for your trip by the that flight?

Here is the plane.....

Thx

Saigon,

I honestly cannot remember how much it cost us but it was worth it - not just for the pictures flying over the fort but because we took the afternoon flight, we arrived just before the ferry departed for the trip back to Key West. When the ferry left, we practically had the whole place to ourselves except for the few people who were camping overnight. The main reason we splurged on the seaplane was that I spent 40 years flying for a living and had never been in a float plane. I really enjoyed your pictures of the fort and they brought back some good memories. Thank you.

Beautiful photos. The water colors are amazing. Two questions for you. Is this where Samuel Mudd was imprisoned and were you able to enter the buildings?

Shaun,

Next trip I would take the afternoon flight as yours because the ferry arrives around 11 am and depart around 3 pm; so the harsh lighting during that period is the worst for taking pictures.

Thanks
