A beautiful, sprawling oak tree, long a most natural resident of that magical region along the Southern Atlantic coastal zone, spreads its limbs, bark darkened by years of ocean spray, over a small alligator territorial spit at Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina. Alligators are not saltwater fans. This is a very horizontal image. The sky is a soft grayish blue with faint white clouds in the distant background, the middle distant coast of the other side of the park a thin horizontal line is just below center of the image. The tree is rooted in a small knoll just three feet above the waterline; not nearly enough height to provide a barricade to the waves of an ocean storm any longer. I've been shooting the ghosts forests, the ghost trees, all over, salt marsh tidal pools moving further and further inland. This is one BIG tree, which if you were to approach it, you'd be awed by is sheer audacity to survive no matter the declining odds. In a few years, it too will be a ghost tree.
