Day trips around Coastal SC

Thought maybe I'd thread together a few rides I have planned...nothing huge, really. Just local jaunts to out of the way places that don't have traffic. Shall we begin?


Me: "Hey Boss. Mind if I bail a little early?"
Boss: "Nope."
Me: "Later!"

So I geared up, and endeavored to make it to a new favorite solitary place on Edisto Island, about 50 miles away in time to catch the sunset. Well, I didn't get there as early as I wanted, but still got a few good ones...








^^This gnarly old tree is in a cluster of three in the middle of the salt marsh...I think the Sepia tone treatment makes it look very cool.^^



These last two shots are from any area lake about 70 miles away...I took them a couple days prior. Really liked how the sunlight was 'coloring' the water as it broke against the shore. the last shot is interesting to me...looks almost like a picture of cooled magma from a lava flow or something...

More to come...hope you all enjoy.

ECR!

Hey I'll be returning to the Low Country WOO HOO in late March, I'll pm you.

Nice photos!

VERY NICE!!

Hey Peach!

Jax: By all means, look me up when you all visit!!


I should have a bunch more pics next week...I'll be riding some on T-day in the morning, and again friday away from all the shopping madness.

Great! Looking forward to it!

While we're waiting here's 3 shots from the Low Country of South Carolina.









Rock on ECR!

Nice

Top one is the bridge on Bear Island Wildlife Preserve, right? Other two are Botany Bay??

2nd to the end looks like the beach on Bull Island.

Cool thread. My dad is working in Charleston, and I've been meaning to take a weekend trip to see him. May have to find some of the places when I do.

Ding Ding Ding... I know you know the Botany Bay, but I didn't even know that the bridge was the Bear Island until I looked at a map just this second.

A shameless ho .... here's one more.



Betcha nobody gets this one Hell there is no way I could pinpoint it myself.... and I took the friggin picture.

Coastal Carolina is an AMAZING place. Cant wait to see more

Great shots, looking forward to more, the low country is a magical place to me, gotta get back one of these days

Simply amazing.

My momma is from coastal carolina, and i remember travelling through the area as a kid. My imagination would picture all kinds of creatures in the moss covered trees.

I must get down there with the KLR next year.

Ha. I recognized the remnants of the old bridege's pilings along the new Bear Island bridge. The Cormarants love perching on those...

As for your last pic...gonna take a stab and say ACE Basin Wildlife preserve, up near the plantation house...

ALSO:

Don't be shy...If you have some good pics of the Carolina Coast, or any of the really cool outta the way places in the Low Country, POST 'EM UP!!

Some sunsets, and sunrise (from this a.m)....all in Pimlico, SC, along the Cooper River.





And sunrise along the Cooper River, this a.m. as I headed to work. I am housesitting for a friend who lives in Pimlico, and the views along the river are sweet!

Let me take a guess...Magnolia Gardens Plantation?

Good guess but not Magnolia. ECR once again has me number.... It's from the Ace Basin. A mostly unspoiled wonderland.

Edisto:


ok... this one is lowcountry... but North Carolina.

ACE Basin is fantanstic!

Went full ninja and got REALLY close to this little lady during a previous trip there. I must have watched her for 15 mins...just snapping away. I might have been 30 feet from her...

Great thread ECR!!!! I'll be lurking. See you in the Spring.


More Ace Basin:

Oooh. Like that top pic, Jax!

On a darker note:

-Big, orange, nearly-full moon rising over Cooper River? Check.
-Just a whisp of clouds in the sky colored by the moonlight? Check.
-Moon light shining on the water? Check?
-Tripod? Check.
-Camera? Check.

-Perfect photo-op? Check.


Dead battery in camera and no charger? Check.

thats beautiful riding country
