I keep photographing the Southernmost Peace and Prayer Church on Fleming Street and it keeps yielding new perspectives.
A stranger walking by asked where Rusty might be and I had to admit he was at home as I was between appointments and he was better off not being in town on a hot day.
Smiley roof face or frowning?
It may technically be Fall but there is still plenty of bright sunlight on the metal roofs of Key West.
I enjoy bright sunlight and the shadows produced even though most photographers are not fond of bright sunlight.
By the time I got to Duval Street sunlight was catching the barest edge of La Concha the tallest building in town. My photograph reproduced on Instagram garnered the comment that it is also pretty ugly. I like the symmetry and the imposing bulk:

And one more shot of shadows and light slanted across the side of a house:

This might make you feel better about KW real estate. A few days ago the cheapest house in San Francisco was put on the market, asking price $615,000. The realtor had over 100 inquires the first day and said she expected it to sell for 3/4 million. Interesting strategy pricing property BELOW what you know it'll sell for to increase its exposure.
I like La Concha too.
1) It's "always" been there.
2) It is imposing and thus unique for KW.
3) They keep it in excellent condition.
All true about La Concha though of course the spa on the roof didn't do it any favors. I rather like the ooms which some people complain about as being small. To me they represent the bygone era Old Town is always pretending to beckon back to and thus seem more in keeping with the Duval Street people say they want to see. A convoluted point badly put but it's early and I'm at work.
As for San Francisco I'll bet the cheapest dwelling is a garden shed for that price. Technology wrecked Santa Cruz when I lived there as it allowed gormless millionaire geeks to live by the ocean and send prices through the roof while they commuted by electron to silicon valley.
You pretty much got it right. It's a sad little abode. https://youtu.be/HH-IhrdVQs4
