Spanish Moss
2009 • Savannah, GA, USA
One of the most beautiful natural sights I have seen is the way the Spanish moss drapes down from the old trees that create a tunnel of sorts over the cobblestone roads in Savannah, Georgia. It feels as though you have just stepped into a fairytale. All the old homes that were built scores ago were built around the trees, preserving them and their beauty. This moss and these trees should be kept safe and away from harm so that future generations can enjoy this beauty and step into their own fairytales.
