Description
A lone oak stands sentinel over a small marina in the Low Country of South Carolina. The tree, with curls of Spanish moss hanging down, shines brightly against the nighttime sky, lit by a hidden spotlight at its base. Thus, the shape of the tree looms over land and sea.
The water, and the boats that populate it, are in the shadows of night; the sky is dark, but clear. There is a wooden boardwalk between the tree and the water; its hand rail forms a geometric pattern across the midpoint of the image, with landscape lighting at regular intervals. Along the boardwalk, tucked in underneath, marsh grass wets its toes in the shallows of the water.
Deeper water is in the foreground of the shot, dark, with streaks of reflected light. And parallel to the boardwalk is the dock, with small watercraft tied up to it. At the far right of the scene, a metal gangway juts out from the end of the boardwalk, leading to the dock.
Both foreground and background are dark -- shades of black. The interest in this photograph centers around the tree, the boardwalk, and the boats below.
