Jekyll Island, continued

At the northern most end of Jekyll Island is an amazing beach that one has to see to feel the full impact of the place.  The ocean seems a bit rougher here, the waves higher than on most Atlantic coast beaches.  According to the guide book, this beach has receded 1000 feet since 1905.  As the beach recedes, the trees and other plants fall victim to the ever-encroaching sea.   Below are several photographs of the beach - it is impossible not to take several.  It is a very eery place, the trees like fallen sentinels, overwhelmed by the incoming tides.  I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
