Sunset by the Dunes - Florida's Forgotten Coast

Florida's Dunes, Very beautiful, Picturesque, Mystical, and are just plain fun to be around.
They are a Perfect and completely natural way for protecting Florida's coasts from erosion
and the tropical storm season. We need to restore and protect all of them.

While meandering along Florida's Forgotten Coast we came across these awesome dunes
at The Mexico City Beach, FL.

This weekend, a storm front had just passed before Sunset. In this panoramic photo you
can see the front, to the left of the Sun. The clouds were of the billowy, stringy, Brightly
colored variety. The Sea oats were waffling back and forth in the Breeze. Perfect for a
relaxing sunset with mother nature. This particular night also had an eclipse of the Moon.

So we sat back in awe of the Dunes and Sunset, Then we turned around and watched
the eclipse of the Moon from in front of the dunes...
