Description
One of the last trees standing at Boneyard Beach enduring the tides at Hunting Island State Park, South Carolina.
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.

Beautiful composition Jurgen! I love the simplicity of this image. The color contrast between the blue sky and ocean with the beige sand accented with the lone bare tree is superb! Great work!

another fine minimalist capture with something quite unique. This odd tree is well placed. like layered effect of sand, small surf area with the tree, dark colored water, lastly the varying blue of the sky.

A defiant stand! Surely this beach and the shore have suffered from rising sea levels. However, a beautifully presented image!
