Any other comments:

I've never really been the kind to argue Mountains vs. Beaches, but ultimately, beaches are nearer while mountains are more enjoyable. I wanted to shine a spotlight on Butterbean Beach, since it's truly sad how little it's been maintained by the county compared to my father's testimony of the beach in the '80s. Also, the one pier pictured has confused me, since I know it was taken at Villas by the Sea, Jekyll Island, but I can not find any way to line the photo up with what I know was the view from our room. Guess it's just another mystery I'll have to develop new techniques for.

If you are ever at all curious and want to ask a question about a camera, a location, my experience somewhere, or want to double-check your usage rights, by all means, feel free to contact me! I genuinely love nerding out about stuff like this.
