beach reflections

 

Today was cloudy with false promises of rain so I stayed inside and worked on my Georgia coast  images. Since it was a great  "photocation" with photographer friends, I have a few pictures to process (OK, there's 700 or so!)

for they shall obtain mercy

 

Christ Church on St. Simon Island is Georgia's second oldest Episcopal parish.  The dilapidated 1820 church was rebuilt in 1884 and is still an active congregation.  Both Charles and James Wesley preached on the island.

st.simon's lighthouse

 

The 1872 lighthouse on St. Simon's Island was built to replace the one destroyed during the Civil War. And no, I did not climb the 129 steps to the top -- only viewed afar.
