Description

I waited months to take this photo. I knew on a very specific day and time that the sun would set centered right at the very end of the Venice Fishing Pier in Venice, Florida. As the day grew closer I watched the weather and was thrilled the cloud percentage would make it a beautiful sunset that night. I got there early and found other photographers waiting to capture this very special moment. It was important to stand lined up centered with the pier, so we all stood behind each other at different heights with our tripods. I was in the very front at the lowest level to the water, with my knees in the sand. This actually benefited me because I got much closer to the water for a stronger image. This has now become one of my very popular images of the Venice Fishing Pier. I love the warm yellows of the golden light and bright aqua color of the Gulf of Mexico.

This image has been has won multiple contests on Fine Art America. On September 15, 2021 this image was a finalist the billboard contest on Fine Art America, reaching the top 275 photos out of 2500 images from around the world.

The fishing pier in Venice, Florida is a great place to watch the sunset at the end of the day. The pier extends 700 feet out into the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and is very tall. It is located in Brohard Park at the southern end of the island of Venice of Florida in Sarasota County. There is a restaurant called Sharky's on the end of the pier. Caspersen Beach is just down the road where fossilized sharks teeth can be found. This is one of the most popular landmarks in Venice. It's a wonderful place to put your feet in the sand, listen to the waves of the Gulf of Mexico gently coming into the shore, and live tropical music playing from the tiki hut of Sharky's.

This photo is cropped to a 1 x 2 dimension for a panorama look. It is also available as a square and a taller rectangle showing more of the top and bottom of the scene.
