Sunset with sailing ship
Saturday night in Key West, Florida was by far the prettiest sunset from Mallory Square I’ve ever seen. The sky changed colors so many times, I couldn’t take photos fast enough.

- We saw gorgeous sunset photographs in a gallery in Key West on Saturday almost as pretty as the real ones we saw the same day. We were lucky enough to have an inspirational artist’s tour of the Alan Maltz Gallery on Duval street lead by Alan Maltz. My head is still spinning after soaking up the color and richness of his powerful photographs. He has been designated “The Official Wildlife Photographer of Florida” by the Wildlife Foundation of Florida……and my new idol. I’ve learned so much in the past year and it’s given me much pleasure to try to capture a moment on our beaches in a photograph but I now have greater respect for professional photographers like Alan Maltz. He has spent a lifetime perfecting his art. I’m sticking with my little point-n-shoot Panasonic DMC-ZS3 but I’m now armed with a little more knowledge from Florida’s finest.

- It was Lobsterfest weekend so we chowed on lobster rolls, lobster tails and Sunday morning I had a lobster eggs benedict to die for. There are no seashells washing up on the beaches of Key West but it is called “The Conch Republic” so I thought I might find some seashell photo ops….mmmm not much, but you might enjoy these too.
A shell!

I have always wanted to go to Key West – now I REALLY want to go! Gorgeous sunset photos!
Hey….I think that is the sailboat that Bruce and I were married on…it looks exactly the same. Great sunset pictures…wish we were there with ya!!!!
Key West is nice, really nice, but it ain’t Sanibel. Not even close. Period.
We did the Key West Express 2 years ago on our first trip to Sanibel. It was great, but we did the trip down and back in one day. Won’t do that again. Our next trip on the KWE will be for a weekend. Your photos are fabulous. I’d love to have them hanging in my home!
Amazing sunset pictures! Thanks for posting such an awesome blog.
Pam, you could give Nick Adams a run for his money with the photos you take! They are really beautiful!!
What a compliment! Thank you!!! muahh
Wow, thanks for sharing. I’ve also always wanted to go to Key West. Just to see it, well someday??
Pam, your photos on this post are incredible! Sunsets are my favorites!!!
Many thanks for this awesome article. I’ve read id for some months now and perhaps they are always very informative. Thanks!
Coming from a couple Key West locals: those sunset photos are AWESOME.
There are couple of places to inspect the sea wrack for treasures:
Rest beach, above the east of the White Street pier, is a favorite place for pottery shards.
Boca Chica beach, especially after a storm, can kick up a few things – especially urchins, sea fan, and sea beans.
And a few places in the backcountry that are rarely visited and sometimes have a few goodies.
