Thanks for the comments. I really only spent half an hour in downtown Sarasota, waiting to drive to the Ringling Museum for when it opened, so I realize my shots of Sarasota are not all-encompassing. I did have a few more shots of the Ringling estate as well as the beach, I stayed in St. Petersburg Beach for most of my trip. Anyways, here's some of those pics.
The Ringling Circus Museum
A very large miniature model of the circus in its golden era
An literal bandwagon
Ringling's home
The courtyard in the Ringling Art Museum
The sunsent in St. Petersburg Beach the evening I arrived
Looking north along the beach, some high-rises but nothing huge
Looking south
Gentle waves
South of where I stayed was this beautiful 1920s hotel, one of the originals
from St. Pete Beach's start as a resort
