    Updated Gallery: Sarasota – Ringling Museum

    The Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida has been a place I’ve been taking photographs since I lived in the area, almost twenty years ago now — and a place where I continue to enjoy taking photographs whenever possible.

    The grounds have these amazing banyan trees, with root systems larger than many houses:

    They’ve expanded over the years, adding buildings, a new entrance, and additions. This is the Chao Center for Asian Art:

    The old Ca d’Zan gate is the new main entrance:

    And, of course, the whole compound is right on Sarasota Bay:

    Take a virtual stroll through the Ringling grounds with 24 new photographs, along with many more over the years, and a few extra photographs from Sarasota proper. Enjoy.
