Symbols of the Lowcountry, a Live Oak festooned with Spanish Moss and a Palmetto, converge in this study of light and shadow.

  1. Congrats Doug. An amazing capture. So many contrasts of black and white, light and shade, soft and architectural foliage. A very dramatic shot. Where is Alfred Hitchcock when you need him>

    1. Paul,
      I often answer with comments on other photo blogs, but do not always have time to answer every comment. I thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog and am sorry if I have offended you in any way.
