Description
A digital aerial photograph of remnant rice fields along a river in Georgetown, South Carolina. The fields are deep green in contrast to the river flowing by. Remnant canals create irregular shapes in the landscape, some of which connect to the nearby river. The tops of fences can be seen protruding out of the water where the canals and the river meet. There is also a jetty that leads to a gazebo out in the distance, close to the top of the image.
