Lyn and I watched this elderly couple walk into the sunrise this morning
[Carrabelle Day #29 2025-03-26 (Wed)] For the second time this trip Lyn made it down to the beach for sunrise. Naturally that required an immediate followup quest for coffee and pastry, and we would up in Apalachicola at Lyn’s current favorite cafe (this was our 6th time there).
No one is more spoiled than this.
Then we did a little wandering around after coffee.

Apalachicola water tower rises over Orman House, a historic mansion now restored as a museum.
There’s also a marina here that we like. It has a collection of smaller, older, beat up commercial fishing vessels. Nothing else, nothing modern or fancy.

Also at the marina. Nice to see this crane repurposed as a nesting platform.
So now as we get to the end of our stay here, for photography we’re beginning to revisit places we’ve had some success with before and returning to them to see if we can do a little better based on previous experience. This evening towards sunset that turned out to be a small bridge in Tate’s Hell that’s being renovated. To get a new/different perspective, e.g. the whole bridge, I hiked down to the river’s edge, sans path, and got some shots with the setting sun behind me. Very happy with the results.
