| Tidal Marsh, Edisto Island, SC © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved (Velvia slide film. Click on image for larger view) As the soft light of dawn rises, high tide fills this marshland on Edisto Island. There are many sea islands along the South Carolina coast. In the novel Prince of Tides, Lowcountry author, Pat Conroy, tells a tragic tale of the ebb and flow of the Wingo family, who live on a fictitious sea island called Melrose Island. For movie buffs, the book was made into a critically acclaimed motion picture, nominated for Best Picture (not to be confused with this picture, which is not a best picture, but a nice picture nonetheless). |
