Boneyard Beach, Botany Bay, Edisto Island, SC © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved (Velvia slide film)
Years of beach erosion and salty ocean spray have transformed a sea island forest into a graveyard of twisted and fallen timber. What's more, this image was made on slide film, the grain of which adds to the grittiness of the seascape.

You can FEEL this, Doug, from your POV. It's the kind of place I'd love to walk on a cool evening.
ReplyDeleteGreat composition by nature :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
These beautiful remains of tree trunks tormented. Light on them is beautiful
ReplyDeleteLike ghostly sentinels. I actually sort of miss shooting slide film.
ReplyDeleteI like how your composition features some of the twisted weathered wood and at the same time frames the twisted skeletons in the distance.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool Doug!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :)
I love driftwood shots - as you can probably recall. This one is a cracker - I can almost feel the warm, salty sea breeze.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend guys.

ReplyDeleteI love the light in this shot!
Now, I have got a grain of sand in my eye!
ReplyDeleteShould I use some saline water to wash it? ;o)
