Nice Image of Castillo De San Marcos and the St Augustine Inlet. Really like the colors and very familiar as we spend quite a bit of time in St Augustine over the last 20+ years.

Was looking at your website but the one image I couldn't place was the view of the lighthouse across the bay. Was this shot over from Vilano Point. You have surf but none of the homes that would be in the picture if you shot from town.

Regards

Thank you! It's a really great place that I would love to go back to. We were only there for 2 days, but I got a number of my best shots from that trip in St Augustine.

The lighthouse shot was taken from across the bay at a beach at sunset. I'll take a snapshot of the exact spot on Google Earth for you. I do wish I had a bit of a longer lens for that shot, but I made due with what I had.

I wanted to get a number more images I saw while driving and waking around, but we just so happened to have our St Augustine days during some festival downtown and other then when I went out well before dawn, you could barely even walk in town it was so crowded! What time of year is it "slow" there?

Amazing picture, and tones!

Thanks Mark Sampson and DennisD for your kind comments on the Melaleuca roots. Here's another picture showing more distorted forms that this species of tree is capable of:

Australia is a place of extremes and even a swamp can dry completely. Trees that spend years partially submerged can develop adventitious roots that proliferate like knotted veins and arteries. Very organic!

Thanks takpro and Rory_5244 for your kind comments. I really like trees so here's a famous one:

Cazneaux Tree

This tree was originally photographed by Harold Cazneaux in May 1937 as the subject for his famous picture "Spirit of Endurance" which received international acclaim. My Voigtlander lens dates from 1928 but it is not nearly as old as the tree which still flourishes today.

Very interesting tree for sure. Looks like a tree that lives long and grows slow. Nice Image.

Yeah, that image has grown on me. I like your choice of framing and the mood of the fog on the hills in the background.
