At One Time, A Road

Gull Harbor, with the rising lake levels, has been engulfed by water, wiping out what was once the road around the north end of the island. Instead, it's become a beautiful wetland, so great for nature, not so great for those who live along this stretch of the island coast.

Wonderful capture of this gorgeous scenery. I feel sorry for the motorists but happy for nature. You are so blessed to be able to spend such a long time in this beautiful environment.

Oh Taffy we have a similar here where the seawall has been broken and it seems 'they' are letting the land revert back to salt-marsh. I started to document it (tag jrbreach) so will go back and the egrets have already colonised it.

wonderful PoV and reflections- did you got a soggy knee bending to get this??

[borof]

Beautiful wetland, great shot.

[Joan Robillard]

Happening around here but more so you see the high water level at the beach has crept up and flooding occurs more often.

A beautiful wetland, but I understand the frustration of the residents. Your photo is very effective--great lines, contrasts and reflections. It's sobering to read in the comments that so many areas are effected by rising water levels.

nature owns it anyway, good use of the land! 😊

This is a much more pleasing scene than the road would have been, I imagine! Love the composition.

Wonderful composition

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Wonderful shot

[Helen Jane]

This is very painterly and lovely to look at. I guess the road wouldn't have been. I wonder what the islanders do without their road?

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very pretty shot.

[Myrna O'Hara]

gosh that is really something

[Kathy A]

That really is a shame however it makes for a lovely photo

[Kathy]

I like the look of the wetlands against the sky and more wooded area.

[GaryW]

I like the low perspective.

[Milanie]

Really like the way you chose to compose your shot - the colors are wonderful together, too

[RonM]

Effective use of depth and POV.

[Taffy]

@helenhall Fortunately, they can get to their homes on a back road.

[Jane Pittenger]

Beautiful clouds. Glad for the creatures that need wet land. We sure could use some water

[Rick]

Cool capture.

[Issi Bannerman]

Beautiful capture of this 'road'!

[Lou Ann]

A lovely capture. I hope there’s more than one road!

[Merrelyn]

Nicely captured

Beautiful scene. Prawa natury są stale naruszane przez człowieka. A to są tylko konsekwencje.
