Almost forgot - the shot from 7-mile bridge over the Moser Channel.
The old abandoned bridge is to the right of the picture, and is open to pedestrians and cyclists. It's also very popular for fishing from. In case you were thinking about driving something over it, there's a bit missing from the middle where the original swing bridge section was removed. The new bridge was constructed in 1978-82.
An anomaly on the old bridge is "Fred" the Tree. He is an Australian Pine tree which is not indigenous to the area. He is believed to have sprung up from a seed dropping from a bird. There is no soil for him to be there - he kind of defies nature, as he's taken root in the old roadway, been battered by storms (surviving Hurricane Irma in 2017 for example) and is subject to constant sun and salt water. He's become a bit of a Florida Keys "celebrity" and even has his own Facebook Page!
