Description
Jekyll Island Driftwood Beach - On Jekyll Island in Georgia you find these wonderful beaches with these dead trees that somehow have managed to stay upright in the sands. What was neat was this beach looked like some foreign landscape with all the driftwood and the deadwood trees upright in the morning tide. it was kind of like you were on a different planet as the early morning sky reflected the blue back into the surf giving this an errie feel with just the silouett of the tree in the water. This part of Jekyll island is callled driftwood beach with these fabulous dead trees as the tide rolls in they are part of the ocean landscape for a short time. We did long exposures on several shot so that the water would get this smooth texture along with a silouette of the tree in the surf against a pre-dawn sky in the alantic ocean. Before sunrise we made our way to the driftwood beach but the water greeted us almost as soon as we step on the beach. Yes the tide had come in. We took photos in the water but our tripod kept sinking which made it difficult sometimes. We like the way this capture the gnarly twisted tree with the deadwood at it base and the surf swirling around the tree. The sky was just lighting up as the pre dawn pastel colors sky over the driftwood beach. It was right before sunrise on Jekyll island at driftwood beach, and this shot show how unworldly it looked with just a hint of color which was just starting to show for the morning sunrise. Driftwood beach was why we came here in the first place to photograph these wonderful dead trees but four days is not enough time here. Jekyll island is part of the Golden Isles barrier islands on the Alantic Coast of Georgia. The Golden isles barrier islands include Jekyll island, St. Simon island, Little St. Simon island, Sea Island, and Brunswick Georgia. This area is known for its driftwood beach and salt marshes and resort like atmosphere.
