The featured image is of a Stuart, Florida sunset.
These are some photos of “Stiltsville” just inside the Biscayne Bay Inlet south of Miami….this area, once known as “the flats” began seeing structures rumored to have been constructed as early as 1922. The structures ranges from grounded barges and yachts supported by concrete pilings to straightforward club style structures used for gambling, liquor distribution and other interesting escapades. Most were almost completely destroyed by a hurricane in 1965 one notorious one burned to the waterline shortly thereafter, and as usual the “fun police” slowly shut down or annexed the rest of the area into the Biscayne National Park.

Given the perspective of 2017’s hurricanes, these places look pretty dodgy, don’t they?
Some have been there since the 20’s …..survived Andrew and a few other brutal storms ….we should study their construction methods !! Haha
