Description
"The Beginning"
by Debra and Dave Vanderlaan
... Jekyll Island
on Driftwood Beach
at dawn...
The tide was going out
and the waves,
captured
in a long two minute exposure
about 40 minutes before sun-up,
melt into a beautiful misty softness.
This huge oak tree
lays in the salty sea,
fallen in a storm surge years ago,
a beautiful sentinel watching
as the surf comes and goes
and waves crest it's long limbs
and gnarled branches.
The wood of the trunk
is being carved smooth
by the tides
as this gorgeous oak lies
in the wet sand.
This is such an interesting spot
and a photographer's delight!
