Description
Perhaps not the most exciting of subjects, but I feel obligated to photograph what little is left of Florida's natural coastal environment before it's all gone.
This was taken last weekend at Grayton State Park, located between Fort Walton Beach and Panama City Beach in the Northwest Florida panhandle.
The typical coastal arid desert environment is well preserved here, apparently being located just east enough from wicked hurricane Ivan's landfall at Pensacola in 2004 to have avoided the major damage that was inflicted over there.
This was from a trip Julia and I took last week down the coast from Pensacola Beach all the way to St. Joseph's Peninsula.
Just over the top of the sand dune pictured here is the Gulf of Mexico. Although you couldn't see it, from this vantage point one could not only hear the surf & seagulls, but could also smell the fresh scent of the salt spray coming from the breaking waves. So sweet. ISO 100, shutter speed 1/200, f-stop 10.
This is my 3rd pic from our trip. The previous one from St. Joseph's Peninsula can be seen right here.
Thanks for looking!

This is quite beautiful and makes one imagine what the coast may have been like a century ago.
a familiar site. I've been there many times. thanks for sharing. it's nice to know it's still there... :-) like you, I remember that area before the high-rises and progress that brought so many to the coast... and before the hurricane that changed the coastline for the forseeable future.
Very nice!
