The completion of our new airport terminal is scheduled for June and construction continues at a feverish pace. The terminal is designed to look similar to the WWII US Navy F4U Corsair fighter.

A never-ending process of replenishing lost sand along our barrier island. The sand is dredged from the St. Marys channel and then pumped on to the beach where heavy duty bulldozers then spread the sand. These operations will go on 24/7 for the next 2 to 3 weeks.
Looks like fun!

Our local municipal airport is getting a new terminal building – evoking the feeling that it’s a WWII U.S. Navy F4U Corsair (which during the war these airplanes were used to train Naval aviators at this airfield).
It’s taking wing!

Have a great day!

In the 1982 movie, we see E.T. board his spaceship and presumedly return to his planet. But, since E.T. was said to be hundreds of years old you can’t expect a galactic traveler like him to stay put.
Here’s evidence that he returned to Earth and opened up a chain of supermarkets!

Classic small-town image – Peck High School completed in 1927. It was the only school on Amelia Island, Florida that taught grades 1-12 to African-American students. The good city of Fernandina Beach still uses this building and it is kept in excellent condition. It made for a beautiful picture today on this lovely warm Winter’s day.

If you’re not familiar with this exceptional camera, here’s a chance to explore some of its capabilities. We highly recommend you adding this camera to your collection of shooters.
This large film is well suited to photography at parties and other gatherings. Everybody’s facial expressions are clearly shown.
The accompanying close-up lens expands the range of photo shooting.
It’s been a very rough 6 months or so here on Amelia Island – a tropical storm passed nearby and 2 early nor’easters have wrecked havoc on our normally pristine beaches. Our tour today will show us some of the preparations underway for a large-scale beach replenishment project – moving sand from point A to B, C, D, and F.
Just lookin’ for a little peace.
Dredging and then the pumping of sand on to the beach is expected to start around March 1st. Lots of heavy machinery, pipes, and whatnot over the next 2-3 months. When they’re done our beach will be ready for whatever nature has in store this hurricane season.
Submitted for consideration for the Weekly Photo Challenge – Tour Guide
