The Breakers - Day & Night

Tonight I have a few photos from Florida to share with you!  A few during the day and a few at night.

Where in Florida?  West Palm Beach, Florida!


Where in West Palm Beach?  The Breakers!

This photo was taken on the back side of the resort from the walkway just before the wall meets the beach.  Looking up you can see one of the palm trees still had the coconuts hanging.

You can also also see some of the rooms behind the palm tree.

This photo is taken in the late morning with a breeze to assist.

Here's a shot of the ocean right around the same time of day.

Later that night the wind was stronger - as were the waves.  We were able to see some heat lightening off in the distance as well as the night lights from Palm Beach up the shore.

As for this photo of the beach during the day you can see some of the breakers to the right.  We were told that the beach was consumed last year and they brought in sand and remade their beach area.  The same guy told us that the waves were crashing right up against the wall before they rebuilt the beach.

It was a gorgeous day!

At night it was a little hard to take clear photos from my iPhone.  Many of them came out grainy.

This was taken at night from the walkway wall looking toward part of The Breakers where some of the brick sidewalks were.  To the left of the photo is where the different pools were located.

I hope to post photos of the pool areas and more of the gardens and greenery soon!

I also hope to get some photos of wild life at some point.  We've seen a few birds but I hope we see more.  And there are several lizards and salamanders at every turn.  I was able to get a few photos of a squirrel but he was starring us down pretty good!

We were lucky enough to stay on the 6th floor of The Breakers.  While on the 6th floor we stayed within The Flagler Club.  I will get more into the Flagler Club in the near future but for now I will show you a few photos of the Flagler Club at night from the terrace.

When looking up from the terrace on the 6th Floor of the Flagler Club you can see the 7th floor which is the top floor for rooms and suites and above that is this lovely sight.

I asked one of the team members what it was used for and this section is no longer open to visitors and mostly just for decoration.  I have a feeling a lot of the nooks and crannies around The Breakers are closed for various reasons.  The property is so huge and well over 100 years old but everything is in amazing shape because they put so much back into the upkeep each and every year!

This next photo is also from the terrace of the 6th floor also known as The Flagler Club of The Breakers.

Each section of the structure is magnificent.  And the decor inside The Breakers is equally stunning.  More on that in future posts, too!

The Breakers is a special place during the day - as well as - at night.

There is something to look at - at each and every turn.

I hope to capture more of these sights and post them to this blog as well as my main blog and Instagram over the next several weeks.  Yes...it will take me that long to catch up with all of the blogging and posting of pictures...that is for sure!
