Sights of Tampa

Tonight I am going with two very different sights from downtown Tampa. I have one of the classic skyline shots that I captured along with some nice clouds. The other shot is from my first visit to Oaklawn Cemetery, which believe it or not, is basically in downtown Tampa. Here is a little info from Wikipedia (Oaklawn Cemetery was Tampa, Florida’s first public burial ground. The location was deeded in the mid-19th century. It was named as the final resting place for “White and Slave, Rich and Poor”. The First Mayor of the City of Tampa Judge Joseph B. Lancaster is buried at Oaklawn. The 6th mayor, James McKay Sr. is also interred. Others include pirates, slaves, yellow-fever epidemic victims and confederate soldiers.) I thought the oak tree was really cool and liked the sunrise light that was starting to show through the branches.
