Enjoying the sunrise at St. Andrews State Park!

            I had been wandering around the jetties and the "kiddie pool" area of the park for about an hour here, last shot before heading home.

Worthless trivia for anyone the reads this far:  This pavillion I'm standing in was erected over a WWII-era gun enplacement that had been buried under sand dunes until Hurricane Opal rearranged all this area in the early 90's.   The pass was man-made during WWII so "Liberty Ships" built in the Wainwright Shipyard (long ago closed) could get their ships out without going through the dangerous original pass.  There were guns on both sides to guard against U-bosts, at least one of which was sunk in the pass.

Go look at more photos, stop with the history trivia . . .
