Wednesday Walk - West Palm Beach

avatar

These last few days I have been away on business in West Palm Beach, Florida. I do not get to travel that much and I was concerned that I'd be stuck in a hotel for the vast majority of this trip. Honestly, I wasn't wrong, but I did get the opportunity to get out in the sunshine one lunch time, and also got to walk around a bit before and after dinner.

West Palm Beach is right on the ocean, and I was lucky enough to get to walk along the waterfront. On a nice day. With no clouds. In January. I suspect that standing in that same very spot in July. might be unbearable, but right now it was incredible.

Fun fact: Much of the beachfront in West Palm Beach is private property, owned by people in huge McMansions that don't even live there. I guess they just like to own the property so others can't have it. There are security guards patrolling the beach and chasing people Who Don't Belong away. We did find one small patch of beach between two walls that was 'public'. I think it could fit one person at a time.

I don't really have a whole lot to say other than I got to walk. I didn't do anything other than walk, and it was a lot of the same after awhile. But it was great weather!

There were a couple of piers that were available to walk on. There were more that were private with Fences and Guards.

Of course, it wouldn't be a walk - for me - without discovering some of the native wildlife fire hydrants. I am 100% positive that they were painted these colours just to make them look Important.

There was even a fire hydrant on the pier, of course, so the fire-on-water could be put out with more water.

And some random shots of things I thought looked neat.

That's a great walk there sir with those incredible views of the beach, the palm trees, and the yacht. Seeing the fire hydrants made me wonder why we don't have that in our public places.😀

I have a really bizarre fascination with fire hydrants, and they will play into many photography assignments I share. They're everywhere here and, unlike my children, don't complain at me for taking their pictures!

Not a bad place to go for a work trip and glad you were able to get some free time for walk and it sure looks like a beautiful nice day for it

Love this walk seeing it on a grey damp day here, love that mural

Thanks for joining the Wednesday, its always fun for me to visit the walks from all around the world, getting a feel for communities where people live and what they see on their daily walks

That mural was pretty awesome. I wish I had the opportunity to explore further to see if I could find anything more like it, but at least I got to see this one.

Wow. What a view. It really was a walk. The wall painting didn't even look like a random shot to me. It's really good.

That wall painting was awesome. If I wasn't being rushed back with "Dude, the next session is starting now, where are you??" I would have taken the time to get a couple more shots of it.

That's hilarious. Next time pay no attention to the haste. Do it while you feel it.

Imused to do a bunch of diving off West Palm a fair few years back. Was based in Vero Beach and we would drive down to West Palm and dive from the Dive Operations down there. Some good diving, I liked that part of the world
