Congaree Trees - Congaree National Park Along the 2.4 mile boardwalk loop in Congaree National Park is one of the largest remaining tracts of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest in North America. From the boardwalk tour guide for this location: "The impressive height of Congaree’s forest is the result of the rich soil, frequent flooding, a long growing season and a history free of intensive logging. Here the trees you see average over 130 feet in height, making Congaree one of the tallest deciduous forests in the world. The forest is rich in biodiversity, meaning it supports an abundance of many different kinds of living organisms." This trail also goes alongside a beautiful array of American Beech Trees, Bald Cypress, Loblolly Pines, Water Tupelos, and Palmettos.
Bald Cypress Tress in Congaree National Park A forest of Bald Cypress trees stand in a "swamp" in Congaree National Park, South Carolina. While this area is similar to a swamp, and was even called one for a period of time, Congaree is considered "bottomland" with it's seasonal flooding and the largest tract of old growth bottomland in the United States. These Bald Cypress trees are suited to life in these floodplains, with a root system that grows "knees" that stick up out of the water, potentially for support and stabilization in flooded lands. Several Cypress Knees are seen in the foreground. This area was seen on a hike around the boardwalk of Congaree, taking a short detour onto Sims Trail.
Lake Marion Sunrise (South Carolina) Sunrise hits the banks of Lake Marion from Santee State Park in South Carolina. We were camping here for spring break while visiting nearby areas like Congaree National Park and Charleston, SC. The clouds set up perfectly on this morning for the sun to shine across the lake. Lake Marion is the largest lake in South Carolina, created by damming the Santee River.
Lake Marion Sunrise (82/365) The sun rises over Lake Marion in Santee, SC. This morning in Santee State Park was hazy with dark clouds passing by in front of the sun, but there was some light to peek out on a morning with more spring-like temperatures. In this photo set I was experimenting with exposure bracketing as well as focus stacking to get the desired shot, although the quickly changing conditions made that challenging. This was out last morning in South Carolina for our spring break getaway before starting the journey back north up I-95.

20220808-RD-LSC-0708 Rendering of $18 million investment into construct of a new Student Activity and Community Center at Claflin University, near the Orangeburg County Library and Conference Center in Orangeburg, SC, on August 8, 2022. U.S. Department of Agriculture Under Secretary Xochitl Torres Small and Congressman James Clyburn (S.C. District 6) announce $30 million in investments that will create opportunities for students and improve infrastructure for thousands of people in South Carolina. USDA is investing $11.8 million to improve the Santee Wastewater Treatment Plant. Critical upgrades for future expansion will be made possible through a USDA Rural Development Water and Waste Disposal Loan of $5,054,000 and a grant of $6,839,300 to the Town of Santee. This essential USDA Rural Development funding will be used to convert an outdated aerated lagoon system to a Sequencing Batch Reactor system with capabilities to expand the system in the future. This project will expand Santee’s water waste treatment plant (WWTP) from 0.713 million gallons per day (MGD) to 1.5 MGD, with the ability to expand to 3 MGD when needed. The expansion of the Santee WWTP is necessary to ensure that wastewater discharged into the Santee Wastewater System continues to be properly treated and that the region can serve current and future economic development. The $18 Million Investment made possible through USDA Rural Development’s Community Facilities and Direct Loan and Guaranteed Loan Program will enable Claflin University to construct a Student Activity and Community Center that is anticipated to be a three-story, approximately 85,000-square-foot student-focused facility that will host classrooms, student life activities, an E-sports area, student meeting spaces, and a student-focused café that can partner with national food service brands. Indoor and outdoor soft areas for seating and gatherings will be provided both on the ground level and third floor. Shared student/community spaces will include a performing arts/theatre auditorium and a conference/ballroom with an 800-person seating capacity. USDA Rural Development’s Community Facilities Programs offer direct loans, loan guarantees, and grants to develop or improve essential public services and facilities in communities across rural America. These amenities help increase the competitiveness of rural communities in attracting and retaining businesses that provide employment and services for their residents.
