Kiwanis Park at Geiger Point, Melbourne, FL

On my initial trip to Palm Bay, this is the first spot I found to grab a few images. It is Kiwanis Park at Geiger Point in Melbourne, FL. The 192 Causeway is crossing the Indian River to bring you to Indialantic and Melbourne Beach. I make it a point to stop here every trip to the Florida coast. This is literally the last image I captured on my last trip back in 2018.

I’m planning another trip for May of this year. Hopefully I can get a room at Disney’s Vero Beach resort. The resort is pretty much centered in the area of the coast I want to explore, from Cocoa Beach to Juno Beach. It is still four months away but I have already begun to make lists of places I wanted to visit/photograph. This planning is partially the reason for the flood of old Florida images showing up in my posts. Well, that and the lack of any new winter photographs due to the insanely cold temps… LOL.

Morning Bath Time?

Melbourne Beach, Indialantic, FL

I’m stuck in Florida! I guess when I wake and it is -6 F, I find it hard not to search out warmer images. Early morning at Melbourne Beach.

Melbourne Beach, Florida

I’m still looking through old images of previous trips to the Florida coast. I went crazy Saturday and switched my wait list request from Disney in Orlando to Vero Beach. I would rather go exploring the space coast to the gold coast. I found this approaching storm coming toward Melbourne. This is looking out over the Indian River at sunset back in September 2016.

Melbourne Beach Revisit

Posted by Mike on

Melbourne Beach, Florida

On my second trip to the Florida coast in March of 2016 I stayed with my mother-in-law and used her place as a base for my early morning/late evening excursions. I found the pier in Melbourne Beach and wanted to see if I could use it for a sunset image. My original post about this adventure is here. Although I love the image I have always thought it was a little flat and unsaturated as well as slightly out of focus. The big draw for me are the colors.

Staying with the “wanting warm images” theme while I sit up here in cold Central NY I decided to rework this image a little. Nothing drastic! A little more contrast, a little improvement on the focus and a slight color boost. I’m feeling a little warmer already…
