Key West, the most benautiful pearl in the Florida Keys. Here, I fell in love with BLUE at the first sight. From then on, BLUE becomes my life's color. The sea and the sky generously show me the diversified layers of what blue could be. At that time, I thought the blue series is enough to express my sensation. -- Till another trip two years later in Algonquin Park, Canada, I found life's color could be more than blue...

Dry Tortugas National Park. The name "Tortugas" was given by explorer Ponce de Leon in 1513 for the abundance of sea turtles, while "Dry" refers to the absence of available freshwater. A long-time pirate hide-out, the place was chosen by the US Navy as the "Gibraltar of the Gulf", a strategic location to control shipping from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. Despite formidable logistical challenges, Fort Jefferson, the largest brick structure in the Western Hemisphere, was built on Garden Key using 6 million hand-made bricks. However, by the time the fort was nearly finished, advances in artillery had rendered it obsolete, so its use was mostly as a civil war prison, holding 2500 prisoners and four men convicted of complicity in the assassination of President Lincoln.
