Marsh Scene, Old Rice Fields

Marsh Scene, Old Rice Fields

Looking across old rice fields from an observation tower, that has seen better days… don’t go to the top.

Off on the horizon is a bend in the Ashley River. Downstream is Drayton Hall plantation, one of the few plantations here not burned in the Civil War. A bit further and the river takes you to Charleston, South Carolina.

There are a few open spots of water, most is now hidden in grass and reeds of different colors. Wildlife in and along the marsh here is amazing in numbers and variety.

This tower is still strong up to the second level. The third is gone now.
