St. Marks Lighthouse Long view, basking in the Moonlight, Florida’s Forgotten Coast

Here is the St Mark’s Lighthouse in the Moonlight. About 30 minutes after Sunset.

This past weekend after the busyness of Christmas was finished. I was eager to hit the road again. To continue Photographing all of Florida’s Lighthouses. I returned to a place near and dear to my Heart and my Soul…

Florida’s forgotten Coast…

We went to the St. Marks Lighthouse for some Sunset and Moonlight Photography, via the St. Marks NWR. The sunset was unremarkable. The Lighthouse shining in the moonlight was awesome. We were operating under some time constraints. I was only able to take a few shots. Here are two of my favorites, A Long view, at Top and The Tower, at Bottom.
