Description
At Hunting Island, South Carolina, the ancient trees used to litter the beach like dinosaur bones.
The boneyard beach is gone now, a 2-mile stretch of popular Hunting Island State Park near its iconic lighthouse that was one of the sought-out natural features.
The bleached fallen trees that made the beach scenic have been bulldozed and left in piles.
Boneyard beaches is the popular term for the driftwood or weathered remains of shoreline trees that have fallen from an eroding maritime forest. They are often strewn like a sculpture of limbs as they gradually wash into the ocean.

I like how you composed this surreal landscape. I hope to get there this fall.
Jurgen Lorenzen replied:
Thank you very much, Michelle, last I heard all the driftwood is cleaned up!
Alex Lapidus
Wow, this is fabulous! Like a Surrealist landscape, but without the ants and giraffes :-)

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
