Barista Closeup at Midnight - Angry Skies and the Full Moon - St. Augustine, FL

On this particular night the winds were especially ferocious and gusty. Making it real tough to do time exposures. Maybe 1 out of 5 Photographs came out this night. I had to hold the camera down, I was afraid it would fly away.

The rock in the center of the photo is part of the layered battlements. The stairs to the left are used to climb up from the bottom of the moat on the right at the base of the Barista.

There is nothing better than Castles, the Full moon and great skies between them…
