Wynwood, Miami, FL (Graffiti and Art)

I've recently come to realize how great it is to have Wynwood as a fairly new, vibrant, and revitalized neighborhood west of Miami's Midtown. It is artsy but not fartsy and is known for being very non-conforming and independent. Wynwood has turned Miami's art scene into an abstract drawing board. In Wynwood, you will find hundreds of crazy and unique graffiti pieces (although I personally would name it Modern Street Art) all over buildings and walls. Many abandoned buildings have beautiful works along with businesses who contract locals to cover their buildings in these spectacular pieces. Here are various pieces located around Wynwood.

Intro

Hello all,

Welcome to The Miami UrbEx

About me: I was born in Miami Beach and raised in Boca Raton (about 40 minutes north), and recently moved back down to Miami (downtown) in 2011. I work in the Hotel industry and love what I do. I have a passion for Urban Exploration (UrbEx) and photography which I plan on showing you through my travels in photos and videos of abandoned facilities, old, and/or uninhabited areas and display them here. I also take a lot of nature and airplane photos. Hoping to get a drone soon and create a youtube channel.

SPECIAL NOTE: You take responsibility for your own actions. I do not promote visiting sites that may be dangerous. If you do visit abandoned buildings or sites, you accept responsibility for taking any risks involved in exploring these places. Leave history the way you found it for others to enjoy.

Coral Gables (Venetian Pool, Biltmore, and The Barnacle)

One day I decided to take a ride around Coral Gables to explore a bit. I have been to the Biltmore and the Venetian Pool when I was younger but havent been since my eyes grew more mature and could appreciate the fine architecture and history these locations have. So here is a peek at my drive around the Gables.

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is a beautiful Spanish setting on Biscayne Bay in Coral Gables. It was a mansion built in the early 20's by James Deering as a winter home that he used only for a few years until he passed away in 1925. His family donated the estate and the gardens to Miami-Dade County who still runs it today as a museum and event space. James Deering was known to open the gardens up on Sundays starting in 1923 for the public to enjoy.
