Fort Lauderdale Beach Promenade. The award-winning wave wall and signature beachfront promenade highlight Fort Lauderdale’s world-famous coastline, which is punctuated by an array of shops, restaurants, sidewalk cafes, and entertainment venues. The Milwaukee Art Museum is an architectural wonder overlooking Lake Michigan. The wings open with the Museum, flap at noon, and close at 10 p.m. Lights illuminate the wings every night from sundown until 10 p.m.Fort Lauderdale, Florida is known as the “Venice of America” because of its many scenic waterways and canals. It has 165 miles of inland waterways that wind through the city. The city is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. I can see this drawbridge being raised and lowered numerous times every day from my fourth-floor balcony. Though it is a constant presence in my life, there is something majestic about it every time, making my day less mundane. Bonnet House Museum and Gardens. In the orchid house. Nestled among miles of beachfront development are 35 acres of a pristine barrier island ecosystem that make up the Bonnet House estate: the main house, outbuildings, and extensive grounds. Situated along Fort Lauderdale Beach, it has one of the finest orchid collections in the United States, wading birds in the freshwater lake, and a lily pond: the campus is lush and beautiful. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic places.Disturbing image on the Bonnet House grounds. Backlit by sunlight the fallen coconuts appear to me like skulls in darkness.
