Description
A digital aerial photograph taken along the Ogeechee River in Richmond Hill, Georgia. It features a deep meander in the Ogeechee and the resulting peninsula created in the adjacent marshlands. The remnants of irrigation waterways dissect the peninsula into quadrants, while two grassy islets flank both of its sides. Houses and boats can also be seen on the outer bank of the meander.
