Image maker and editor, low tech by design. I love “home base” (Skidaway Island, GA) obviously, but I travel a lot and love to share the most visually compelling moments. Profound thanks for the follows, likes, reposts, and especially comments.

Happy Friday, ( #Scape day), Bluesky friends. We get some crazy tides here in #CoastalGeorgia second only to Maine on the Atlantic coast in USA. #EastCoastKin

Happy coincidence on the way back to the car after shooting a spectacular sunrise on Driftwood Beach, Jekyll Island, GA.

Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park offers up endless opportunities for spooky ethereal abstracts. For #BlueskyMonday , here is a study of the darker more forboding end of the spectrum #EastCoastKin

Thank YOU!

Thanks a lot John! Yeah, it was a pretty rough assignment. Brutally lonesome, lost sleep, spotty cell service, no vending machines, and it took almost 15 seconds to get the sand off my shoes! Whoa!

Wakulla Springs, FL. Deep nature is so unruly, yet so interdependent.

Happy #Stunday y’all. This would be some random evening when Mother Nature went on a golden hour bender at Delegal Creek, Skidaway Island, GA

Oh I know, and I make a point of searching out those rare undeveloped areas. But Cumberland Island has some amazing areas that far surpass the best of Skidaway (although Skidaway sunsets are off the charts)

David Brooks @dgbrooks.bsky.social · 14d

Something whimsical for your viewing pleasure.

A humble road to be sure but this was the major thoroughfare that connected the Carnegie Estate to the Rockefeller Cottage on Cumberland Island, GA back in the early 1900s…… still the busiest (and most modern) road today.

Happy Friday #scape day y’all. This is one in an endless series of tidescapes from right out my back yard at Delegal Creek in Skidaway Island, GA. Enjoy.
