Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport Terminal – under construction
Another update on our new airport terminal here on Amelia Island which is nearing completion and is scheduled for a mid-June opening. Lots of activity going on today with exterior painting, grading of the parking lots and what not.
If you haven’t been following this construction project previously, the building is designed to resemble an F4U Corsair fighter plane from WWII. The “tail, canopy and propeller cowling” will be added soon. Stay tuned.
Thanks for stopping by!

Small Town America – Fernandina Beach
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.

WPC – Weathered
I find my photography tends to skew towards – weathered “things”, natural and man-made. Here’s a small sample –
Iron, Rust, Wood
Mossy Post
Sun Blasted Train
“I see a red door and I want it painted black”
Weathered Bricks – Fujica GS 690 on Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100
Rock On my Weathered Friend
Many thanks to the fine City of Fernandina Beach, Florida – Amelia Island, for providing such a rich palette of weathered things for me to photograph. All of these images were taken within a 3 block area of the Historic District downtown.
Thanks for stopping by!

Windsock – Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport (KFHB) Amelia Island
The City of Fernandina Beach, Florida operates a public access airport on Amelia Island. Originally built by the U.S. Government and used by the U.S. Navy during the later stages of WWII as a training airfield.
An iconic fixture at any airfield – the windsock.
Today the airport provides general aviation services for the public and serves as a gateway to Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach. A new terminal building is currently under construction at the airport and will feature a rather unique design. Updates to follow.
The new terminal building under construction. When completed it will look like a WWII U.S. Navy Corsair airplane (at least look like its shape) complete with “wings”.
A busy sky today – lots of contrails and cirrus clouds. Of course, all airports in the United States have controlled access for security reasons. I like the way the top of the fence blends with the treeline in the distance.
You can find out more about our airport and the City of Fernandina Beach here.

c1911 Post Office – Amelia Island
A favorite of mine to photograph – the interior of our c1911 post office here on Amelia Island. For the most part it’s survived its 115 year plus history pretty much intact. I’m told that this is exactly the same way this door has looked since 1911. Amazing.
Beautiful quartersawn oak – excellent casework and attention to detail. Can you imagine replicating this today?
