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.
