The Carolinas

Lacrosse Defensive Players from Queens College. One would not expect that such big guys would be able to jump so high.

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. Archive Airings.....AA 276......Years Ago.

This little series is an Environmentalist's Lament at New Years. Shot a dozen years ago, almost to the day, everything you see here was bulldozed for a Myrtle Beach resort hotel. Absolutely unique and irreplaceable; now gone. Previously posted on Panoramio, this is what I said then: Less than 100 meters from the ocean, all the water here is totally fresh water; flowing out of woodlands in the back. --- I took this shot at the very end of 2005, and then 5 years later intermittently spent hours on GoogleEarth, looking for a patch of woods, trying to correctly locate it. I knew I had shot it from the beach, north of 28th Avenue. This is such a beautiful and iconic piece of remnant southeastern shoreline woodland and marsh; and it is truly tragic and environmentally devastating that it has been destroyed.
