Bayfront Drive, Sarasota

The bayfront of Sarasota has Restaurants, a marina, fishing fleet, walking paths, and sculptures. You can take excursions on the bay, rent a boat or park your boat, if you arrive by sea!

The 25 foot "unconditional Surrender" sculpture is somewhat controversial. According to Wikipedia Seward Johnson's spokesperson has stated that it is based on the Jorgensen photograph titled Kissing the War Goodbye, but a spokesperson for Life has called it a copyright infringement of the photograph by Eisenstaedt. The posting near the statue makes no mention of any photo and is written in a way that suggests it was pure inspiration.

Many more Bayfront images are posted below.
