A slight breeze kept the mosquitoes away while the temperature dropped just a few degrees from its midday high. The idyllic climate matched the setting as I settled in for the sunset at Pierre’s in Islamorada. The bartender arrived with our cocktails and placed my manhattan on the table. As I reached for my first […]

Sunset Sunday – Lake Michigan, Chicago
by Craig Zabransky on June 12, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
I just received a letter for my high school reunion. Any such letter makes you think of high school and its memories. Ah, all the good, the bad, and the ugly. And it also sent me looking through photos. During my high school days the digital camera was no where to be found; it wasn’t invented […]

Sunset Sunday – Southern California Marina
by Craig Zabransky on June 5, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
When I dream of the southern California, I often find myself dreaming of the pacific ocean and its beaches. And those dreams include the sunset. The Laguna Beach sunset or the Carlsbad Sunset come to mind. But, on my exploration of the southern California coast, I discovered other beauty. I found beauty in the sunsets […]

Sunset Sunday – Caribbean Club in Key Largo, Florida
by Craig Zabransky on May 29, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
Key Largo, essentially put on the map by the 1948 classic staring Bogart and Bacall, was once known as Rock Harbor. The community decided to capitalize on the popularity of the movie and insisted that their post office be called Key Largo. On June 1, 1952 the name changed. Much has changed since then, and […]

Sunset Sunday – Tauranga, North Island, New Zealand
by Craig Zabransky on May 22, 2011 in Guest Post, Sunset Sunday
To mark three months since the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand and two months since the highly successful Blog4NZ effort I decided have Sunset Sunday return to New Zealand once again. My first one, in March, was Lake Waikaremoana, New Zealand during the Blog for New Zealand effort. And again, just as in the first […]

Sunset Sunday – Beech Mountain, Pocono Mountains, PA
by Craig Zabransky on May 15, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
As summer approaches, the days are getting longer and for many of us living up north look forward to the later sunset. This often translates to more, rest, more leisure, and more time for an afternoon cocktail.
One place I enjoy many of these longer, warmer, days are the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.

Sunset Sunday – Miami Baptist Hospital
by Craig Zabransky on May 9, 2011 in Reflection, Sunset Sunday
Last Mother’s Day Sunset Sunday I published prose a daughter wrote for her mother. A tribute. This year, again, I want to share a special moment. This time it’s one of mine. On March 4th I didn’t sleep a wink. Actually, I didn’t sleep again till the afternoon of March 5th – thirty-six hours plus. […]

Sunset Sunday – The Westin, Cape Town, South Africa
by Craig Zabransky on May 1, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
During the World Cup, I spent a few nights in Cape Town. The $15 USD dorm rate at local hostels suddenly changed and the rates skyrocketed to nearly $50 (even more at some places) so I decided to take action. I checked in to the Westin, an SPG property that provided a pay and points […]
