St Augustine Lighthouse
Built in 1874 and nestling on the Anastasia Island, is a 165 ft high landmark that has been faithfully directing the sailors and boatmen for over a century.

I witnessed the most beautiful sunset in my life at a small quay behind the lighthouse.
The pictures below are straight from Tommy's and my cameras, I don't even have to edit them :)
Nature is the best painter. No lens or digital software could better present the breathtaking view that my eyes eagerly and hungrily feasted on.
I dwelled with gratification and delight on the wonderful hues
and lingered with glee and contentment as the evening breeze gently caressed my hair.

The sun slowly and reluctantly set behind the curtain drawn by Nature,
and we stood in silence trying to comprehend a different side of St Augustine.
As the day concluded itself, I felt as if I was brought back to the ancient European time and had a surreal encounter with the Bennet Sisters (Pride & Prejudice).
The jovial and passionate Elisabeth and the shy and sensible Jane, St Augustine is a perfect manifestation of both.
We watched birds gliding smoothly across the water surface in search of dinner and were delighted by how graceful and elegant they dined.
A perfect background music for the enchanting evening and the thoughts running in my mind:
