Some notes on the fourth photo, reading it from bottom to top. The blurry stuff at the bottom is plants relatively near to me while I'm focused on those sky scrapers in the distance. That's a deliberate feature of my aesthetic. I have no interest in pretending that we're looking directly at the world; those blurs are an artifact of the photographic process. But they are also explicit markers of distance. What appears to be a horizontal canopy above the bottom edge is just that, a canopy over a walkway along the water's edge. My guess is that it is there to protect people from stray golf balls from Liberty National Golf Course, immediately above.
You can see a green to the right, then a bit of sand trap, and then behind that some rough, and some shrubs, and the roof-line of some building (I don't know what). Then you see the tops of four mid-line buildings belonging to an apartment complex called The Beacon. That complex started life as a hospital built by Boss Hague back in the 1930s. The two sky scrapers are quite new and were built by the Kushner Corporation. Jared Kushner is Trump's son in law and as far as I can tell, more or less runs the Federal Government.
Finally, the owner of Liberty National is trying to enlarge the course by taking over Caven Point so he can place three holes there. The dispute between him and the Friends of Liberty State Park over Caven Point has gotten quite nasty.
