Going South: Raleigh, North Carolina; Savannah, Georgia; and Miami, Florida; November 2009

A few photos from my time travelling through Raleigh and Savannah on my way to Miami.

Statue of George Washington (1910) in the guise of a Roman commander by F.W. Ruckstuhl in the North Carolina Museum of History. This is in fact a plaster cast of the original statue.

Another hand-painted sign outside a Protestant church in Little Haiti in Miami, this time written exclusively in French with the exception of the words ‘Church’ and ‘Residence’. I wonder what happens on Tuesday and Saturday mornings’ ‘Service de jeûne et prière’ (fasting and prayer service—how can you have a ‘service’ of fasting?!). It’s interesting to note that they have included the circumflex over the capital ‘U’ in ‘jeûne’ and left out the grave accent in ‘prière’: the circumflex is necessary to avoid misinterpretation of the word as meaning something to do with ‘youth’.

This homeless girl in Miami really wanted me to take her photo, and assured me that she would be available at short notice for any photo-shoots I had planned.

People on Miami Beach in November 2009. Miami Beach is a city separate from the city of Miami, on the barrier islands which separate Biscayne Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. This is the ocean side.

View over the Miami area taken with my iPhone as I flew to New Orleans. You can just make out the tall buildings of downtown Miami in the middle distance of the photo, as well as barrier islands which make up the city of Miami Beach on the left-hand side, separating the mainland and Biscayne Bay from the Atlantic Ocean.
