Coastal Adventures

Raw Beauty – The Eye of Tropical Storm Andrea

I went out to the beach as Tropical Storm Andrea came overhead. I had heard that the swells would be 8+ feet and I had to see that. We always get an influx of surfers and it makes for some excellent entertainment even in a little rain. The wind was howling […]

Untouched

Botany Bay is an incredible region of untouched beauty. That is to say, it is untouched by man. As a Heritage Preserve it is a protected area, and it feels raw! It’s refreshing to go to a place like that and experience nature as it should be.

The Mystique

Sullivan’s Island, SC

Staring across the bay, watching the dolphin play. The sun sets over the water and all is well.

Contrast

The stark contrast of decay against life giving light and water is incredible. This was captured back in January when Colby Brown and Peyton Hale came down to explore the region.

For me this image is about the mood that is created by the clouds and water and the almost lack of color except for the sun. I also dig it’s […]

“Exposed”
Folly Beach, SC
#8

The coast of South Carolina is constantly shifting and changing as the sands are eroded here and deposited there. I imagine that this isn’t unique to the SC coast, but I notice it all the time.

On a warm morning last August, I ventured out to the North end of Folly to explore. […]
