Morning quick shot at Cape Romain, South Carolina. On our way to a barrier island, 7/24/2022.
‘Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, extending 22 miles along the South Carolina Coast, is a rich mosaic of barrier islands with forest and ponds, vast salt marshes and intricate waterways. This diverse and dynamic system supports over 293 bird species and a myriad of other wildlife. Over fifty percent of refuge lands are designated a Class I National Wilderness Area.’ (from the US Fish and Wildlife web site)
FYI here; a Class 1 ‘national wilderness’ area is extremely rare. Only a handful of locations meet the criteria. In short it’s a no people, no access, no touch by human hands, area. The official description is; The most intact, undisturbed wild natural areas left on our planet. There are 760 locations, most are in Alaska, USA.
Ted, thank you for posting about this wildlife refuge. It’s another wildlife refuge you are mentioning in your post. I saved the Donnelley WMA you also mentioned before.
The photo of early morning of Cape Romain is stunning!
Thank you very much. Because we are on the coast, and sub-tropical, we have a large number of swamps, marshes, and barrier islands designated as wildlife areas of some kind or other.
A photographers heaven 😊😊😊
