I love Jekyll Island for many things but what first comes to mind is the silence that envelopes the island. Silence is a wonderful experience, we are so use to all the noise that we don’t even know silence.

In 1733, General James Oglethorpe named Jekyll Island in honor of Sir Joseph Jekyll, his friend and financier from England. In the late 1800s, Jekyll Island became an exclusive hunting club for families with names like Rockefeller, Morgan, Vanderbilt, Pulitzer, and Baker.

I captured this on Jekyll islands driftwood beach at sunrise.
