Stone Jetty Protecting Shoreline at Fort Matanzas in the Light of Late Afternoon

The stone jetty projects from the shoreline into the Matanzas River, protecting the base of the fortress from the erosion of tidal currents and wind-driven waves. The dramatic light of the late afternoon casts dark shadows and deepens the colors of the natural setting.
