The Lowcountry is known for its natural beauty and charm. From graceful oak trees and gorgeous marsh views to vibrant sunsets and remarkable wildlife, the Lowcountry always delights its beholders.
Then every once in a while, the Creator outdoes Himself and adds an extra flourish to an already spectacular canvas, surprising us with an incredible view like the phenomenon that happens near cypress trees in the winter. During the colder months, if the conditions are just right, sunlight will hit the water and a rainbow of color explodes across the surface, taking the once darkened swamp and turning it into a colorful masterpiece. A local family happened to catch this phenomenon and posted some amazing photos on their blog, Not Just Abroad. You can also read more about it in this Post & Courier article by Bo Petersen.
