"Ossabaw Island at Night" was photographed in November 2017.
On the south end of Ossabaw Island, there is a driftwood/boneyard beach which is at least as large as the one on Jekyll Island. The beach there is even more remote and less accessible than Jekyll Island. The entire island itself is more remote and less accessible and way less developed. Ossabaw Island is only accessible by boat. So, the beach there looks more natural and wild. There is less evidence of human's presence or influence on the beach or land. Even remote undeveloped islands, like Ossabaw, have occasional garbage on the beach that is washed up from the ocean. Having said that, the character of the beach looks more natural because the forces of nature are allowed to play out without humans trying to prevent or control it.
I took this photograph because, with star photography or Milky way photography, I like to put something interesting in the foreground. In particular, I like to mix something old in the foreground with something ancient, e.g. the Milky Way. This old tree may have been over 100 years old before the ocean eroded the beach and worked it's way into the forest. It may have even stood upright until one of the major recent hurricanes, e.g. Matthew or Irma, came and blew it over. It still stands as a testament to the heavens, peacefully laying on the beach during the day, and reaching out to the stars at night.
