USA Bass Pro Shops-World Wide Sportsman Sporting Goods Store

This is the best place I found to get palm trees juxtaposed against a sunset sky in the Florida Keys. The trees are lit with kerosene torches just before sunset to add to the ambiance. You can eat outside at the restaurant here while watching the view. After sunset the staff toss food into the water to feed the schools of huge Tarpon which hang out here.

Wait until the brightness of the sky is about the same value of the illumination of the foreground from the lights near you to balance the exposure. The staff are very friendly and have no problem with you crawling around taking pictures. Use a tripod.

Parking is free, right beside the Bass Pro store, to the north, on the northwest side of the highway.. on your right if travelling southward towards Key West.
