Dunes - Lone Survivor - Florida's Forgotten

I have always wanted to Photograph Florida's Dunes. Not the man
made variety but the original Dunes that covered most of Florida's coasts since the Dawn of time. They have a hard crust
and are highly resistant to the effects of Florida's Tropical Storm season. The Dunes in Florida's Forgotten Coast are of
the real variety. They start South of Tallahassee, around to the west, to about Seaside, Fl.

A Winter storm front had stalled south of Tallahassee over the Dunes. My favorite weather when doing Photography. We
were late arriving and found an out of the way Park called the Bald Pont Dunes at about 10 PM. The moon was full, The
skies were full of storm clouds, the winds blowing hard....

We saw this Lone Tree near the shore Holding on for dear Life, with carcases of long since gone trees around it.
