Publisher's Note: These aerial photographs of the lowlands of coastal South Carolina and Georgia capture the essence of an area famous for its barrier islands, tidal flats, and broad river deltas that form almost continuous ribbons of waterways along the extended coasts. Beyond this watery fringe lie the colonial cities of Charleston, Beaufort, and Savannah and the outlying plantation sites that dominated the 18th- and 19th-century economic life of the coastal plains. These rich images of the Lowcountry go beyond stereotypical portraits of Spanish moss trailing from ancient live oaks and unpainted barns to offer views that take in the broad spectrum of environments that define the region. The results are truly rewarding scenes of great natural beauty, remnants of lost cultures and ways of life, diverse fields of vegetation, ancient fishing villages, and modern-day resorts and golf courses—all the elements that make up the mosaic of this beautiful and historic part of America.
