This January, I had the opportunity to photograph at one of the most interesting locations in South Florida. Blowing Rocks is a nature preserve located at Jupiter Island.
The coast of Blowing Rocks is composed out of Anastasia limestone . The sea has eroded holes through the stone and in situations where the tide is high and there is on-shore wind, the breaking waves impacting the shore are channeled through these holes and plumes of water shoot as high as 50 feet.
The spectacle is remarkable even on a calm day. To see a larger version click on the image.
Now, for those that live in South Florida, we know that -being on the east- any view of the sea on this shore is better at dawn. This is the case for Blowing Rocks and I highly recommend it, but don't go packing yet to be there tomorrow at 5 AM and catch the Sunrise. The park is open from 9:00 AM on, sso there might be some permits you want to clear first.
