Where Live Oaks Meet Salt Marsh
South Carolina, USA
The Low Country of South Carolina is well known for its live oak trees draped with Spanish Moss. The gnarled and twisted shapes of the tree limbs, combined with the drooping moss gently blowing in the wind, can help create artistically pleasing and interesting compositions.
Sometimes the trees grow right up to the marsh, allowing one to incorporate yet another feature of the Carolina coast in the image. South Carolina has about half a million acres of salt marsh in the Low Country, which is more than any other state on the Atlantic coast. It's easy to explore the salt marsh, whether from the land or a watercraft, as it is vast and readily accessible. It is also a vital habitat for many species of mammals, birds, fish, alligators and other wildlife.
