From the jetty at Pass-a-Grille on St. Pete Beach you can
see the lights from Redington Beach, Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks Beach,
Clearwater Beach and more. |

Fishermen on the jetty at dusk, bathed in the glow of their
gas lantern. Fishing on a dark pier at night is a lot of fun and is very
relaxing. The rest of the world is dark and irrelevant. Your world is that
little space illuminated by the lantern. The fish are mysterious hungry
creatures, unseen and unknown, stealing your bait and flipping their
tails on the shining surface of the sea. The stars wink from above, the
wind blows your hair, and only the water lapping against the rocks, and the
laughing, friendly conversation of the fishermen breaks the silence. A
meteor streaks overhead. A long-legged heron croaks from some unmapped
quadrant of the dark sky. All is well in the universe. |

The Hurricane: A mansion of a restaurant and bar on St. Pete
Beach. Three floors and an outdoor patio right across the street from the
beach. The roof deck is not a bad place to catch the sunset, especially if
you feel the need to have a drink in your hand while doing so. |

Added 11/04/05 John's Pass. Under the bridge a
heron stalks among the rocks. The bridge structure takes on the orange glow
from the restaurant lights along the pass. This is on the Treasure Island
side, looking toward the Gulf of Mexico. |

 |
Added 11/04/05 John's Pass after sunset. The
lights from the bridge start to compete with the sunset for color. |

 |
Added 11/04/05. John's Pass Boardwalk and Shops
all lit up at night. This is the Madeira Beach side of John's Pass. |

Added 11/04/05. Gators restaurant, with the
