About 125,000 years ago, the ocean coverered much of Florida. Ocean currents deposited drifting sea shells and sand to form an underwater bar that ran from St. Augustine down to Palm Beach County. Rock formed when lower sea levels exposed the bar, cementing sand and small colorful shells called "coquina." The exposed coquina rock at Blowing Rocks Preserve in Jupiter, Florida is the largest outcropping in the area. Over time, erosion carved the coquina rock, creating blow holes that shoot salt spray up to 50 feet in the air during storms and heavy surf.
I spotted these two beach-combers beneath one of the rock formations, watching the sea. The shape of the opening made me think of a pair of arms embracing them. |
