Edisto Island Charleston SC - Deep South
Dirt road draped in spanish moss covered live oaks at the entrance to Botany Bay Plantation on Edisto Island just south of Charleston, SC. Nothing says "deep south" like a backwoods dirt road through a forest tunnel of live oak trees dripping in spanish moss. The old south plantation's history, nature, boneyard beach, lowcountry landscapes and more at Botany Bay are amazing. This is a wonderful place to visit if you are in the area near Charleston SC. Hope you enjoy it, comments welcome! ;-)

Stunning, stunning shot. What an interesting spot, and you do a great job of conveying the sense of remoteness here. Thank you very much for sharing.

You getting amped up for the Spring Charleston bloom, Dave! It looks like things are going to be two to three weeks early here in DC and NoVA. I wonder if Charleston will be similar? Another great shot of a very cool road!
