📍 "The Palazzo," Goodby's Creek, Jacksonville, Florida
Beautiful blue hour view across a quiet waterway where large luxurious buildings on the opposite shoreline cast their shadows and light reflections upon the water below, while large blue cloud formations rise behind them, illuminated by shades of pink and purple from the approaching dawn.

Flying over the #Baldeneysee in #Essen towards the Villa Hügel, the mansion of the Family #Krupp.
