The photo above was taken in Pensacola Beach‚ Florida in May 2017 at just about sunset at 7:23 PM. As you can see from the picture‚ there is very little beach left in Pensacola.

Descriptive Place Coursework Sunset Beach As I lay down onto the golden grains of sand‚ I looked up to the vibrant yet soothing streaks of colour that had filled the canvas of the sky. There were strokes of pink and orange that resembled the soft‚ supple skin of a perfectly ripened peach. The setting sun’s radiant face was mirrored by the shimmering clear blue waves of the sea which was framed by sloping land on either side‚ both of which were flourished with a palette of different bright

As I waltzed on the beach‚ squishing down the hot buttery-yellow sand that gave off the hot sensation of a burning grill sizzling my feet‚ I was immediately taken by the scent of freshly sliced fruits and freshly picked flowers. As you move along‚ brightly colored fruit stalls filled the sidewalks from which fresh fruit is cut. From a fruit stand‚ the scent travelled all across the beach with the help of the cool breeze which allowed the scent to fill

For the mature tree in this picture I observed that the trunk is darker than the younger trees in the background and about 15 to 20 feet tall if not higher. Walking through
