St. Augustine icons

[jordannamorgan]

Here are a dozen icons made with my own photographs of the landmarks and scenery in St. Augustine, Florida. Two of them are actually Christmas icons, because most of my photos of the Old City have been taken during holiday visits, and some prominently feature the decorations around the town.

Icon Subjects:

01-04: Assorted shots of the Castillo de San Marcos, a seventeenth-century Spanish fort.

05-06: The St. Augustine Lighthouse at night. (No, its light beam is not a manipulation on my part!)

07: A pizzeria occupying one of the historic houses near St. George Street. It had rained that day, and the wet street reflected the lights on the building as perfectly as a mirror.

08: St. George Street, the main hub of shops and eateries for tourists.

09: One of the marble statues for which the Bridge of Lions is named.

10: Okay, I confess--I actually shot this sailboat at Canaveral National Seashore. But I needed to round out the dozen. *g*

11: A lamppost near the Castillo, all dressed up for Christmas.

12. Another decorated lamppost, this time on St. George Street.

Ah, I like things with sails even if they're not St. Augustine-bred. ;) These are lovely! I think the Castillo de San Marcos ones are my favorites - especially #2.

Thank you! :)

(Someday, we must go to St. Augustine together. *g*)

Ooh yes. We must indeed!

Hmm... I wonder if Amtrak goes to Orlando... I could go through the lovely 1920s train station in Fort Worth... *plots*

[jordannamorgan]

I believe it does. I think there was a station about a block from my early-childhood home downtown--and I know there's one near the Farmers' Market in Winter Park (a yuppie part of Orlando that tries to pretend it's a different city).

I would have taken a train on my 2001 trip if they had gone to either Scranton or Binghamton, my two options. Instead I had to slog along on Greyhound for 24+ hours. (But those buses did stop off in St. Augustine, so I know they go there!)

You're right! I tried to use their "route finder" and it shuttled me through Chicago and D.C. Hmph. So I looked at the route map myself, like I should've. :D I can go from here down to San Antonio, then along the Gulf Coast to Jacksonville and thence down to Orlando. It can happen!

These are all great -- but I gave a special "yay!" for #7! I love the way rain-washed streets reflect back the light. It's the film-noir romantic in me, I suppose :)

[jordannamorgan]

That is one of my many favorite photos. :)

Wow they are really pretty, I especially like the first two, but love the colours and effects on all of them.

The effect with the boat is my favourite ...

[jordannamorgan]

Thanks!

The curling-paper effect is from meleada.
