Sunset in Naples
I caught this sunset in Naples, FL earlier this year. Obviously, it was incredible. That's about all I have to say about that!
Walking the beach in Naples
I tend to be more of a mountain guy as opposed to a beach guy, but I can totally get the beauty of a wonderful beach under a blue sky. There is something about it that appeals to me at some level. I caught this shot while wandering along the beach in Naples, FL. I only had a little free time there and knew I wanted to see the ocean up close. What I didn't know is how close I was going to get. Take a look at this second photo. The beach was COVERED in shells, literally. They were everywhere, and lots of those little conchs were walking around like they owned the place. It was awesome!
Wandering at the Ritz
Thanks everyone for all the visits and comments this week, I really appreciate it! I am a bit behind on returning the favors, and am preparing for a big trip wherein I hope to return with lots of photos. More soon!
This is the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Naples, FL. Actually, there are two of them there. Isn't that odd? Two Ritz-Carlton Hotels in one not-so-big town, separated by just about 3 miles. It's true. There is one on the beach, and the other one (featured in this photo) is on a golf course. I know because I went to the wrong one first, before making my way to this one. Anyways, one morning while there I popped out for a stroll around the grounds, while carrying my Nikon of course! Always make time for that!
Ritz-Carlton, Naples
Yes, staying at a Ritz-Carlton Hotel really is pretty awesome. I had the good fortune of attending a customer event which happened to be hosted at one of the Ritz-Carlton Hotels in Naples, FL. Yes, I said one of them. There are actually two in Naples - isn't that wild? Anyways, it was hosted at the one on the beach, and I was housed at this one which is a couple of miles away on a beautiful golf course. No, I never hit the links but I did squeeze in a little photo time around the property. And I didn't mind being at this one, since it was newer and in my opinion actually a bit nicer. Anyways, I had a few spare minutes one afternoon, and got out with the camera. This is a view from behind the property, standing on the edge of the golf course, and looking back at the hotel across the lake, which I am sure is home to many an errant Titleist. And by the way, be sure and ask the price for the breakfast buffet before you order - it's $25!!
