Miami, Miami Beach at night. Two Beautiful Cities

MIAMI AND MIAMI BEACH.. TWO MODERN, CONTEMPORARY CITIES

Introduction of a 5 part Miami Beach and Miami series dedicated to architecture and design



I went out for a drive about two days ago and honestly these two cities are both very modern, have great buildings that are unique, and are great cities to drive around in just to take a spin and enjoy the night air, weather, and scenery. They are modern, contemporary, and have a young hip crowd making them two of the most trendy and young cities in the United States. Enjoy the following pictures of these two growing modern cities. 

I will continue to write about these cities in the following order with the following themes

Hope all of you enjoy these truly beautiful cities...

The New Florida Marlins Ball Park, Miami, Florida, USA

The completed Florida Marlins Stadium, Miami, Florida USA
The New Marlins Retractable Roof BALL PARK, 
in downtown Miami, Florida, 
USA

Hey everyone out there in blog world, I think these pictures are amazing as you can now begin to see the actual outline of what the stadium will look like when complete including the two massive columns that will hold the open roof structure when not closed up and exposes the stadium to the elements. This is indeed a very modern, contemporary design for a building in a city known to be modern, contemporary, young, and hip as is the reputation of Miami, Florida.

Enjoy the pictures:
