From the Archives - Dusk at Kiawah, and the Great Beyond

Sunset, Ocean Course, Kiawah Island, SC  © Doug Hickok


This is a photograph made of a cluster of coastal Live Oak trees silhouetted against the sky at dusk. Beyond this lies the Atlantic Ocean, and beyond that North Africa. And beyond that lies the Middle East, and beyond that China. Further beyond that lies the Pacific Ocean, and beyond that Southern California. Further still beyond that lies Texas, and beyond that South Carolina, where this photograph was made.

    And it seems as if the light of africa has traveled the ocean to greet your camera.

    Arrête, tu vas nous faire une révolution! Par définition, c'est faire un tour complet pour revenir au point de départ !
    En tout cas, ces arbres, très graphiques, se détachent merveilleusement sur cette lumière chaude!
    Bonne journée lumineuse!

    Kiawah Island is so fascinating!
    Mesmerising sun set and beautiful silhouette.

    Ha... And beyond that I probably can see you!

    You're showing a part of SC I have never seen, Doug. It wouldn't be a bad place for the center of the universe!

    This is such an awesome frame, Doug. The beautifully composed scene and the balance of light and hues works superbly well. Trees as silhouettes are exquisite here. First class.

    Beautiful image with that composition and low horizon. And yes, there's a whole world out there if you keep travelling!
