 The City of Miami and its suburbs are located on a broad plain between the Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean. Miami's explosive population growth in recent years has been driven by internal migration from other parts of the country as well as by immigration outside the country. Greater Miami is regarded as a cultural melting pot heavily influenced both by its large population of ethnic Latin American and Caribbean population. The pictures shown below were taken in the City of Miami and by Biscayne Bay.
