Arc of Ages

I have a fascination with these southern Live Oaks. I have a fascination for trees in general, but these are among my absolute favorites. It's one of *the* main reasons I live in the Carolinas. Lots and lots of beautiful trees. This row of Live Oaks is well known and oft-photographed, with good reason! I find the patterns of light dappling across the hanging moss and splashing across the grass captivating, especially later in the afternoon as the light turns golden. The natural tunnels formed by rows of branches majestically arched with age are exquisite, and can be found in many places around the low country, but none better than here in Boone Plantation in Charleston SC. The entrance fee at the plantation is a bit pricey, but I would pay it again in a heartbeat whenever I get another chance to snap photos of these beauties. Again my apologies to Flickr friends for my absence, will get around to everyone's streams over next couple of days.
