Description
In a simulated charcoal sketch edit, the remains of a small boat are exposed in the shifting sand of the coast to welcome the sunrise. Driftwood Beach is on the northern end of Jekyll Island, one of Georgia's Golden Isles, and is a picturesque place featuring numerous driftwood trees and parts of trees. This "scene from another world" was created by years of erosion that caused trees of a marine forest to topple into the salt water of the Atlantic ocean and die. While it is a form of marine debris, or tidewrack, is can also be quite beautiful and even mysterious. The salinity of the ocean water tends to preserve the trees for many decades - if not longer.
