December in the Lowcountry

Last weekend I went to the islands to take some pictures for a friend back home. As usual, the views, and the dolphins, did not disappoint. The dolphins must have been eating because one kept jumping out of the water - not Brookfield Zoo-style, but still pretty high. Enjoy, Katie...
This inlet is one of the most dangerous waterways in the lowcountry. Riptides and undertows are very strong here. At least one person per summer has died trying to swim in it despite the warnings. There used to be a warning sign that was black with a skull and crossbones and tally marks for the number of people killed in the inlet.

You can see the bridge in the background.

Same view of inlet. Photo taken from the Isle of Palms facing Sullivan's Island. Photo taken during low tide.

This dolphin popped up right below me on the bridge. It was swimming around the inlet for about 20 minutes.
