Visiting St. Augustine- A Photographic Account
Strolling through the streets of St. Augustine as the sun sets, watching the city slowly transform into a dark, low lit oblivion of old beauty. Endless bed and breakfasts, shops closing their doors, and tourists wandering around in awe.
Flagler College’s breathtaking architecture creates a stunning image when presented in front of a cloudy skyskape.
Walking past cemeteries in this old Florida city with shadows bouncing off centuries old tombstones.
The Tolomato Cemetery is the final resting place of Elizabeth Forrester, a 16-year-old from Pennsylvania whom died while visiting Florida and was buried at Tolomato in 1798. Her gravesite is the oldest marked grave in the state of Florida.

Historic church towers raise above the skyline, allowing the true beauty of history to shine through.
Mission Nombre de Dios Museum includes a museum housing some of the cities oldest sacred artifacts, church, and 1-acre of sacred land. A beautiful way to spend some quiet time reflecting on the religious history of St. Augustine.
Last but not least, what would a trip to St. Augustine without visiting the east coast of Florida’s beaches. A beautiful rainbow led to Vilano beach, a quiet, peaceful, and scenic location. A great way to end a lovely trip to the amazing city of St. Augustine.
