Tampa, Florida

I went on a shoot with the Fuji X100S, to get more familiar with using the camera, but still hoping for a good shot here and there. I was walking across a bridge, looking down to see if there might be an abstract composition when I saw my shoes with the one untied lace. Hence, the title for the photograph.

Evidently, the photographer (you know who) was receiving a "two finger salute", which can be seen if viewed large. LOL! The shadow looks like someone hold two bags.

February brings autumn to Tampa. Our spring can be one (1) Tuesday in April and winter can bring below freezing temperatures to turn plants and grass brown before Christmas (and we can wear shorts on Christmas Day) or it can be a few scattered days/weeks in January and February. But, we will definitely, definitely have seven (7) months of hot and humid summer!!!!!!!! {:o) Thank you all for visiting and for your gracious and appreciated comments!

Ybor City (EE-bor) is a historic neighborhood in Tampa, Florida located just northeast of downtown. It was founded in the 1880s by cigar manufacturers and was populated by thousands of immigrants, mainly from Spain, Cuba, and Italy. For the next 50 years, workers in Ybor City's cigar factories would roll millions of cigars annually. The neighborhood had features unusual among contemporary immigrant communities in the southern United States, most notably its multi-ethnic and multi-racial population and their many mutual aid societies. A slow exodus out of the area that began during the Great Depression accelerated after World War II, leading to a period of abandonment and decay. After decades of neglect, a portion of the original neighborhood has redeveloped into a night club and entertainment district. The neighborhood has been designated as a National Historic Landmark District, and several structures in the area are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 2008, 7th Avenue, the main commercial thoroughfare in Ybor City, was recognized as one of the “10 Great Streets in America” by the American Planning Association.
