Friday Fotos! – Photowalk with my 600mm Canon lens.

October 31, 2025October 31, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

A few images from a quick photowalk along the Amelia River here in Fernandina Beach this afternoon. What contrasts—industrial ugliness mixed with our natural beauty.

Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS USM lens with a Canon Extender 2x III. 600mm of reach!

‘Talaria’ Denver, Colorado. That must have been one heck of a trip!

Double-crested cormorant.

Juvenile royal tern (I think).

Tankers for the mills.

Mill one of two along the river. Ugly.

Shrimp boat. Only a few are left.

Crane.

One thing is obvious: Fernandina’s riverfront isn’t dull.

Boats and stacks.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

The Bailey House – 1885

Not that Bailey House, this one sits at the corner of Ash and 7th Streets in the Fernandina Beach Historic District on beautiful Amelia Island.

Queen Anne style Victorian era home. A perfect early autumn day.

A random home I spotted along the beach (A1A) on Amelia Island, Florida. At least it’s not a 10-story condo. I like it.

Amelia Island.

Someone just needed to get in some quality beach time. They just happened to have a couple of airplanes on the trailer.
