Misty Monday - Curving Country Road

Country Road, John's Island, SC  © Doug Hickok


A country road curves towards the dreamy mists of early morning on John's Island, a rural sea island near Charleston. This road leads to the ancient Angel Oak, estimated to be the oldest living thing east of the Rockies. I'll show you an image of that Methuselah-like tree on tomorrow's post.

    Wonderful light, Doug, filtered by the trees.

    It is a sin how many curving country road pictures I have. The light filtering through the trees makes this one special.

    Now that's my idea of a bend in the road...makes you want to step into the image and walk around the corner. So inviting!

    I really like this tone, very 1960s!
    Soft diffused light penetrating the tree canopies!
    Aw...true bliss.

    Is it a tidal island like St Michael's?
