Description
One of the last trees standing at Boneyard Beach enduring the tides at Hunting Island State Park, South Carolina. Sunset light and a dramatic sky enhance this monochrome infrared work.
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.

A wonderful image. I love these old trees and wonder at what all they've witnessed.

Beautiful combination of surf, sand, tree and sky. My minimalism group POD for 11/23/22.
