Painted Twilight
Silhouetted trees against a twilight sky near the Mantanzas Inlet outside St. Augustine, Florida. This is an image taken nearly 30 minutes after sunset as I was leaving the beach near Mantanzas Inlet. This area is part of the Fort Mantazas National Monument south of St. Augustine Florida.
Fort Mantanzas National Monument consists of a Spanish fort built in 1740 of coquina rock, and about 100 acres of saltwater marsh and surrounding islands on the Mantazas River. It was built to protect the southern end of the Mantanzas River where it enters the Atlantic Ocean at Mantanzas Inlet. (13.0 sec at f/11)
