I had the opportunity to swap houses with someone who lives in St. Augustine, Florida, and since that is one of my favorite towns, I decided to take a quick trip on the I-95 south for a couple of nights. This is one of my favorite American beaches, Marineland. I just managed to get there in time to see the sun as it cleared some clouds on the horizon. It’s good to be alive!
Last week friends and I traveled down the 17 South and I-95 to the St. Augustine area of Florida. I particularly enjoy these beaches because of the unusual rock formations found here. Specifically Coquina rock is a type of sedimentary rock (limestone) formed by deposits of mineral or organic ocean floor particles that merge into wonderful shapes and textures. They also create many tidal pools which are fascinating to explore. These images are from Marineland Beach and also a little further north at Matanzas Inlet.
