The Most Remote

When we visited Dry Tortugas National Park, one of the most remote National Parks, we were struck by the history there.  But, not to be outdone was some of the scenery and beauty of the history.  Take a look…..

Early Morning Key West

Although the morning did not have picture perfect blue skies, this scene of leaving Key West has a lovely peaceful feel about it.  The bustling town is not yet completely awake, and at least one fishing boat is still at the dock.  The frigate birds are circling around the harbor, keeping an eye out for breakfast.

Cove at Bird Rookery

Most of the island that is Dry Tortugas National Park is covered by Fort Jefferson.  However, there is one relatively small section of the island that is a bird rookery and sanctuary.  The cove that sits on its shore holds a couple of sailboats that have taken shelter from what looks to be an upcoming storm, but any sailors on board will need to direct their dingy elsewhere.

Storm Approaching

The bird rookery and sanctuary that sits on the island that is Dry Tortugas National Park has a cove on either side of it.  The colors of the green shore, blue green water and grey storm clouds hanging low make this scene truly the calm before the storm.

Through the Gallery

Imagine the soldiers walking through this gallery as cannons were readied to fire if necessary to protect Fort Jefferson on the island that is Dry Tortugas National Park.  Oh, what stores these brick walls could tell.  I’m always amazed by the perfection of things build before the start of the last century, too.

Standing as One

The three pylons tied together create are much stronger than any of them could be alone.  It reminded me of how together people can accomplish so much more than any of them imagined they could alone.

Enjoy!
