Description
A digital aerial photograph depicting remnant rice fields along a section of the Ogeechee River in Richmond Hill, Georgia. It features a cluster of trees in the foreground, along the image’s bottom edge. In the middle of the photograph, the meandering river appears light blue in contrast to the greenish brown fields through which it flows. Two islets can be seen adjacent each other within its channel, while a narrow strip of trees to the far right overshadow the houses below.
