Worth Avenue
This image shows Worth Avenue in the City of Palm Beach, Florida looking toward the west. At the far end of the avenue is Lake Worth (the body of water, not the city). The alleyways, or vias, off of Worth Street lead into courtyards housing shops and restaurants.
There are hundreds of elegant and upscale shops – small and large – lining Worth Avenue. In Florida, the lake, the city and the avenue are all named after General William J. Worth who was an officer during the Second Seminole War. He also served as the Commandant of Cadets at West Point. He later had commands in Texas and was in charge of the “Department of Texas”. The cities of Ft. Worth and Lake Worth in Texas are also named after him as is Worth Street in NYC (near where he is buried). BTW, he was born in Hudson, NY!
This image was created with Nik Color Effects Pro to simulate a Polaroid transfer print. I did this to capture the feel of old Worth Street as in might have looked during the time of Addison Mizner.
