Botany Bay
After driving for almost 15 hours from NYC, i arrived at Botany Bay on time for Sunset. After taking a turn on to a unpaved road from SC 174, canopy of trees brought much needed energy for me continue the drive towards the plantation. After traveling for couple of miles, another turn led me to the information kiosk. I did not check for days or hours of operation, but i was lucky to go there on a non-hunting day. This 4000 acre wildlife management area offers lot of photo opportunities for folks who likes nature and bird photography. But my primary focus was on Boneyard beach, a beach known for dead trees caused by erosion.
Arrived at the parking lot designated for beach access after 5 min drive from the main gate and started a hike on a marked trail towards the beach. After passing through marsh lands and a set of dense trees, i was amazed to see the trees stranded in the ocean with nice sunset hues.
I was the only person on the beach and walked another quarter mile to find a right spot to take some photographs. I was expecting some wave action but unfortunately i went there during low tide. The sun was already set and with light fading away quickly i could not try multiple compositions rather stuck at same place trying to get a better photograph with available light. Not sure about the photograph but the trip was worth it.
