Up Above Miami

Up Above Miami

 

This is Downtown Miami looking North from the Four Seasons Hotel.

At 789 feet, and comprised of 70 floors, the prestigious Four Seasons is the tallest building in Miami (and all of Florida for that matter). What you see here is the view from an in-construction penthouse on the 67th floor.

I drove about 3 hours for this shot and arrived just in time for the sunset (the ride took a bit longer than I anticipated).  The hotel interior is amazing and quite large; I ended up getting lost a couple of times before I finally made it to where I needed to be (there are multiple lobbies).  I was a little under the gun and worried I might lose the light, but fortunately it was a quick ride up to the penthouse after everything was squared away with security.  I remember seeing the view for the first time and thinking “this is going to be good.”  It was worth the drive as you can see here.  I shot for a couple of hours and have a few different looks of this scene as well as a westward looking view of the city I plan on posting in the future.

To give you an idea of what this hotel is like, I took a wrong turn on the way out of the parking and ended up in the valet section where I found a Maserati, Bentley and a Rolls Royce all parked next to one another!
