I spent the weekend following our cruise in the heart of Jacksonville, one of the largest cities in the Southeastern United States. It is centered on the St. Johns River, and in 1564 it became a French colony known as Fort Caroline, one of the earliest European settlements in the United States. Jacksonville itself dates back to 1822, a year after the US acquired Florida from Spain. Jacksonville is named after Andrew Jackson, first governor of the Florida Territory. Traces of the past are found all over the city. These elegant streetlights date back to the late nineteenth century, when Jacksonville became a popular winter resort for the rich and famous. I photograph them in front of a contemporary window, reflecting back to us an abstract, futuristic vision of the Jacksonville of tomorrow.
