Description
A serene sunset casts a warm glow over the peaceful waters of northwest Florida’s Apalachicola Bay, while a series of docks and pilings create a rhythmic pattern of reflection in the very gently stirring waters.
The reflections of the manmade structures in the rippling water canvas add to the tranquil atmosphere of this idyllic late afternoon Golden Hour scene.
This photo makes me smile because just a couple of minutes before it was taken, my husband and I, along with our son in law, had been tearing across the Apalachee Bay in a fun but really crazy high- speed ride, returning to our dock on St. George Island after a successful guided fishing trip for redfish in the Bob Sikes cut runnng between the bay waters near the mainland and Gulf of Mexico.
We all caught our breath and took a deep breath of grateful relief when our pace slowed to what, by comparison, felt like snail’s pace as we entered coastal waters and a no wake zone, where we were greeted by this beautiful scene bathed in beautiful early evening golden light.
