Fresh Water Flows Directly Into Saltwater

This shot also had previously been on Panoramio, and my comment then was: I thought this was an unusual scene, because in most East Coast sandy-beach areas, fresh water makes its way to the ocean via estuaries, bays or meandering through marshes. Here, a fresh water stream pours out of a fresh water lake at the foot of a remnant of a mature coast-hardwood forest, cuts through the dunes, and riffles its way directly across the beach. Unfortunately, the forest and lake and this stream are all gone: bulldozed to make way for a tourist resort; a true historical and ecological disaster.
