#FloridaFriday: A wide shot of one of the #marble #lion #statues donated by Dr. Andrew #Anderson, who had commissioned #RomanelliStudios of #Florence, #Italy copies of the #MediciLions, statues in the #RoyalPalace in #Madrid.
They were meant to finish decorating a bridge between St. Augustine, #Florida, and #Anastasia Island, which was itself meant to be both #artistic and utilitarian, resulting in the Bridge of Lions, gaining its name from Anderson’s gift.
The bridge needed #restoration work in 2006, so the lions were removed for their protection, and returned in 2011.

#FloridaFriday: The #Florida Keys are a favorite #vacation destination for many, for many reasons. Fishing, historical and ecological tourism, and novelty. Road access to the Keys was not available for many years, though Henry Flagler and Clarence Cloe had build a railroad #bridge.
After extensive damage from a #hurricane, the #railroad sold the bridge to the federal #government, which rebuilt it as a #road bridge.
Then in 1982, the old bridge was made redundant by a new one. Parts of the old bridge are preserved, such as this #pedestrian access to #Pidgeon Key, home of #museums and a location on the #NationalRegisterOfHistoricPlaces.
