González-Alvarez House
This
photo of the González-Alvarez house complex reminds me of pure Spanish Florida,
and for that reason I love it. :-) This particular building isn’t part of the
house itself, but is rather part of the grounds, and shows the colonial coquina
kitchen at right. Note the decorative shrubbery and flowers, as well as the
Spanish-style arcade at left. Without the modern light hanging above, one could
easily imagine this to be a scene far in the past.
St. Augustine Lighthouse
St.
Augustine’s Lighthouse dates from the early 1870s and is visible from many
points around the region. It’s especially lovely when seen poking above the
treetops while driving Anastasia Island. A close-up view reveals a complex of
structures which have been very well-kept and brightly-painted. The color
scheme really stands out against the bright spring sky; and the trees provide a
nice frame.
