Photograph of the week: Driftwood Beach, Jekyll Island, Georgia, USA

Silhouettes of sloping branches decorate the shore as the night sky transforms into a beautiful palette of pinks, blues, and oranges. Overhead, birds dance around each other in unison with the lull of crashing waves, floating effortlessly against the salty breeze… it’s morning on Driftwood Beach on Jekyll lsland.
