These are absolutely awesome! I can see why you couldn't choose - they're both fantastic!

that first picture is such a deep blue sky. Beautiful. Of course I love the sky over the water too with the bird. Great shots.

I think I'll prefer the first one. I like that kind of symmetry and perspective.

Tom said...

Wow I've missed some great pictures but I'm back now playing catch up... Love the flight.

I love them both but i like the last one with the seagul and did you notice the round circle in the photo? I am adding you to my blog

My husband is great lover of seagulls. He thinks they are very under-rated. For his birthday I bought him 2 works of art(?) off of ebay that featured seagulls. One turned out to be a grade-school oil painting and the other a rather small pencil sketch, but he loves them!

So, is Fruit Cove near Jacksonville?
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I must say, I enjoy my trips to Florida. We have usually stayed at St Augustine Beach but this year went a bit further south to Ormond Beach. But now we are back in the cold cold snow. I'll send you a big box of it if you want.... there's plenty to spare!

Lissa said...

My favorite is the first one. I didn't even think of looking that way!

Debbie365 said...

We'll take both! Gorgeous!

Paulie said...

Interesting photos. I love the first one and the second is great too BUT if the seagull had been either lower or higher, it would have been perfect! Thanks for visiting mine.

What a beautiful day there in Florida! I am freezing here in Colorado. Thanks for the mini mind vacation.

Those are awesome!!! I love the Jacksonville landing!

sam said...

lovely, is the Landing curved like that in real life or is it an effect of the lens? Either way, it works!

Sharon said...

Thank you :)

Yes Sam, it is curved and faces the river.

Great pictures. I've always though Jax had a beautiful downtown. I used to love walking down the river at the landing during my lunch break.

The first thing I noticed about the top picture is the enormous blue cross going up the center of the building that's on the left! Do you see it?

Sharon said...

I didn't until you pointed it out! Cool!!
