Morning Marsh Magic

Sunrise over a Tidal Marsh, Kiawah Island, SC   © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved


The sun breaks through early morning clouds to illuminate a marsh at high tide. On many mornings during summer, warm humid air along the coast creates clouds that build above the horizon. Sometimes it rains, sometimes not. But the moisture is so thick you could slice it with an oyster shucking knife.


Quick take: If you like adventure photography, take a moment to peak at
Jimmy Chin's work. It's amazing.

  24. I believe your Morning Marsh photo has been stolen by someone else and entered in a photography contest. I saw it on this website:http://southsgreatest.com/2012/11/trystan-mcmanus/ The person has 3 photos entered, and you may have to run the slideshow to see yours.
