Hi Steemit friends, today's shot's are all from my trip to the beautiful and historical St. Augustine in Florida.

Ripley's Museum in St. Augustine is quite an impressive structure, very fitting to it's surroundings.

St. Augustine is believed to be the oldest city in the United States.

A true hidden gem.

If you are a regular follower of my work, you can tell why I just had to visit this place!

This is Florida's version of El Morro! I was fascinated to say the least! This 17th century Spanish fortress is actually called The Castillo de San Marcos. If you were to look closely, the fortress is made of sea shells!

I took at least a thousand photographs, so these are just a sampling. I am hoping to return to take even better shots. Hopefully, soon.

Thank you for stopping by my post. If you enjoyed it feel free to up vote, resteem and follow if you'd like to see more photographs like this (the past) and enjoy art (the future). Yes, my tastes are pretty eclectic.

beautiful photography....

Thank you very much for that kind words Birju.

I love how sunny and bright and colorful everything looks there. Nice work!

Thank you very much dear friend. It was a very nice day. :)

Beautiful indeed. I was there once as a child, but have few memories left. It was fun to see it through your eyes!

Then a return trip is a must! Glad I was able to entertain you with this post. There's many shots I haven't posted.

I have friends who have retired and bought a place there that they are remodeling to use for a winter getaway. Maybe I can get an invitation to visit!

Now that would be wonderful!
