Well I managed to shoot the corporate job OK........ but Miami is totally freezing......... like totally........

So the dream of Florida ...... the dream of Miami turned out to be...... just that....... a dream...... oh and the River Palace Hotel right next to the Hyatt....... its more of a nightmare than a dream .......... it has no heating and it is literally freezing...... (and has no wifi)......... virtually none of the buildings or restaurants in Miami are warm enough ......... basically they are all designed to be open to the outside and to need air con........ so everywhere is now completely freezing..... there was ice outside and I am staying in a hotel with no heating........ Yeah I kid you not....... Its was like camping out in winter........ I had to use the hair dryer and the iron to heat up the room......... it was all a bit of a downer....... and at the close of day as i walked across the wind swept and ice cold sands I was pretty depressed...... not to mention seriously cold....and feeling a bit ripped off by circumstance......... then suddenly I was filled with total awe looking at the sky....... Miami has a certain quality of light...... all of its own it seems ...... but this was something I was absolutely not expecting to see in this overcast cold weather....... and yet there it was....... instantly raising my spirits......... It might be freezing cold....... but look at that....... it is still Miami!
