Here Comes the Sun

    Twilight image at Washington Oaks Gardens State Park.

    The rock out-cropping in this image is composed of coquina rock, which is a combination of sea shells and sand bonded together with calcite. This rock has been used for construction in the area for centuries.

    Washington Oaks Gardens State Park is located south of St. Augustine in the city of Palm Coast. The property was once owned by a distant relative of George Washington. The gardens, located between the coast and the Mantanzas River, were established by Louise and Owen Young.

    I think this is one of my personal favorite images I came away from the park with. Other than the almost non-existent clouds on the horizon the sky was completely clear. I was surprised at the rays of the sun coming over the horizon when they occurred.

    If you're every in the area, this place is a definite good place for a stop :) I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
