Description
In the pre-dawn, this iconic lone tree of Driftwood Beach awaits the pending sunrise on Jekyll Island, Georgia.
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.
