Fernandina Beach, Florida

Leaving Rhode Island I headed south along I-95 until I crossed into Florida where I randomly found my way to Fernandina Beach. My late afternoon arrival coincided with a heavy, pale cloud cover and a very strong wind that propelled the white sand along the beach, washing out the landscape. It was eerily beautiful. Walking further down the beach I did find a bit of color in the sea oats and then suddenly the colors of everything warmed as the sun started to set.
