- Caption
- SC – Lower Combahee. A good example of erosion. Foreground just a few hints of canals caused by being on the opposing side of an oxbow. The interior of the oxbow has suffered from over wash for many decades. These fields were purchased by the DuPont family in the 1920's.–Description from photographer, David Soliday.
- Description
- A digital scan of an aerial photograph depicting an oxbow-shaped meander along the Combahee River, at the border of Beaufort and Colleton Counties. The water appears silverish at the ends and light blue toward the middle of the image, in contrast to the surrounding brown flatlands. In the foreground, patches of brown grass reveal remnant rice field ditches, while in the background, distant, taller vegetation appear greenish brown under the setting sun. They create a slightly curved horizon where they meet the evening sky.
