G'day infidels. It's a beautiful morning in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Today, I've decided to give you some images from one of my favorite locations from the Sunshine State -- St. Augustine. Besides being the oldest City in the North American Continent, it is a treasure trove for photographers. You have the historic old town and forts, the historic lighthouse, you have many great nature opportunities along the coast and at the Alligator Farm (world famous for its bird rookeries). The images I've posted here today are a small selection of the images I've taken in this great city.

St. Augustine Lighthouse, © 2003 by Michael A. Pancier That's all for now folks. I leave you now with some words of wisdom from Jane Addams, known as the Mother Theresa of 19th Century Chicago. One of the great women in American history who you'll rarely see in any history textbook. She opened a home called Hull House in the slums of Chicago. An amazing example of what can be accomplished without the help of government. Hopefully my fellow photographer and friend Bonnie who lives in Chicago will treat us to some photos of this historic home and museum. What say you Bonnie? Here's what Jane had to say...
• We have learned to say that the good must be extended to all of society before it can be held secure by any one person or class; but we have not yet learned to add to that statement, that unless all [people] and all classes contribute to a good, we cannot even be sure that it is worth having. -- Jane Addams (1860-1935)

Beautiful glimpses of St. Augustine (love the lighthouse). As for a trip to Hull House and Museum, I'll see what I can do in the coming weeks. Looks like an interesting place and story.
