I spent a few weeks in Crystal River near Tampa last year. Between studies or flights I’d walk (yes, walk in the US!) or jog around looking for details. The main things that attracted my eyes were: hardly no pedestrians, no surprise, and a lot of Harley Davidsons, no surprise either.
Manatees were unfortunately on holidays, I wish I had spotted them in the nearby creek, a renowned worldwide place. (en fr. il s’agit de lamantins)
Palm trees often look like the highest landmarks in a Floridian landscape.
Chevrolet Corvette.
some interesting facts in the US: safety helmets are not always compulsory. Worse, in Florida, it used to be mandatory to wear them. Then some genius of a governor decided to repel that law!
typical US highway. No house but shops and business offices.
thanks for comment!
yes even by foot it was not always easy to cross over...

Crystal River has been my training ground. It's a real challenge to drive with those Harley Davidsons driving furiously along with you. My area still got the helmet law until now. Nice photos, btw!
