If you've been to Key West, Florida, you'll have seen the famous '90 Miles to Cuba - Southern Most Point - Continental USA' monolith. Key West calls itself 'The Conch Republic', this logo also on the monolith. This was photographed five months after Hurricane Irma; winds stripped paint off the monolith and it was repainted soon after. It's time for a Margarita!

I agree it would have been a great entry but we can still enjoy it here. I understand the currency there is Sand Dollars -

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Oh yes I was there years ago, thanks for the nice memories. tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
A Margarita and cheeseburger! I am so glad that its repair is a metaphor to the care and repair Florida is going through since the hurricane.

Great entry Thad. The colors are definitely bold!
I can hear Jimmy Buffet in the background.
Good luck in the contest.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Good one for the contest Thad - would love to be in Key West right now!!

I've been living here in Florida 27 years and have never been to Key West. I really despise the whole Jimmy Buffet thing. We got some good winds from Irma when it passed by. Great entry, thanks for sharing.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
I went to high school in Key West. I didn't even have to read the description, I knew the exact location where the photo was taken at.

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)
Cool...do you know you can hear the ocean in those? Or maybe it's because you are right near the ocean.

Taken the time difference into account (early in the morning here and middle in the night in your area) and the time before the deadline (6 hours from now), think you're too late when you would decide to do so.
Very colorful image anyhow, perfectly seen and captured.
