    Love all of these. You’ve captured the timeless “meh” of Jax Beach in an ethereal, nicely poignant way. Did you happen to catch a shot of Rexy the Dino mascot on the way out on Beach Blvd, or did you come down A1A?

      Thanks! It had an odd but kind of comforting vibe to it I enjoyed when we were there, hard to tell from the picture with the sunset putting off warm tones but it was actually pretty chilly out. Didn’t catch Rexy, I think we did go down A1A and it was a nightmare finding parking lol first time in Florida visiting some friends that live there and they brought my girlfriend and I out, this is juuuuust a bit north of the Jax Beach pier which I actually have in another one of my posts, that one’s not a film photo though, was testing out the zoom on another digicam I brought along.

        Jax Beach isn’t bad at all, but it’s not world famous for a reason. It’s the “Eric Foreman’s basement” of beaches. :-)

        I haven’t been back to town in a while, and anyway I grew up south of Duval County and west of the river, so there was more fresh water and Saint Augustine Beach in my childhood, but I’m fond of Jax Beach too.
