Welaka Sunset Timelapse: Golden Hour to Dusk on the St. Johns River, Florida
Peaceful evenings at Welaka, Florida, looking across Little George Lake where it meets the St. Johns River. The video opens in real time beneath the Spanish moss on a late January afternoon. It then follows the sun down to deep blue dusk in a timelapse, first wide, then with a slow push toward the boathouse.
