Miami Pictures

Miami is world famous for long stretches of white sand beaches, vibrant nightlife and incomparable examples of Art Deco architecture. Located on the southern most tip of Florida, the city of Miami is a golden jewel on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Popular Miami pictures provide a glimpse of the bright lights and neon of South Beach and bustling seaport.

With a skyline that rivals that world's great cities, Miami pictures are a testimony to architectural diversity. The preservation of Miami's classic Art Deco structures and the marinas of Biscayne Bay enhance the visual splendor of this great American City and gateway to the American South. As a world class tourist destination, Miami greets visitors with swaying palm trees, skyscrapers and luxury hotels offering spectacular views of the ocean.

Miami pictures give us a look at both existing structures and modern high-rise buildings making the transition from the drawing board to the construction phase. Construction cranes are a common sight along the Miami skyline. Still, older buildings like the Freedom Tower and the Dade County Courthouse appear frequently in Miami pictures.

Completed in 1925 Miami's Freedom Tower is a classic example of Mediterranean revival design and is listed as a National Historic Landmark and appears in the United States National Register of Historic Places. Over 250 feet tall, the structure features an impressive cupola top and was recently renovated and restored.

For over 40 years, the Dade County Courthouse building stood as the tallest building in Miami. Not a high rise building by contemporary standards, the 360 foot tall courthouse was looked on as Miami's first skyscraper.
