redneck sunset

Coming back from a tasty fried shrimp dinner at Singleton's Seafood Shack (just north of Jacksonville Beach), we spied a spectacular sunset over the Naval shipyard. About the time I set up my tripod, an armada of huge pickup trucks pulled up, intrepidly going into about 12 inches of the Intracoastal Waterway. I could tell that they were locals, and that this was a not unusual thing to do. They opened their beer bottles, brought their lawn chairs into the water to enjoy the view along with us, and waded out to try some late-day cast net fishing. Ah -- the good life, and for free, too! (Who needs Ft. Lauderdale and a $50 million yacht, anyway?)
