A digital aerial photograph depicting remnants of rice fields along the Ogeechee River, near Georgetown, GA. It features irrigation canals meandering in all directions through greenish-brown marshlands. Walker Canal can be seen prominently flowing across the center of the image, almost in a perfect line. Taller vegetation can be seen in the top, right corner, bordered by the Ogeechee River. Out in the distance, the dark blue of the Atlantic Ocean creates a faint horizon where it appears to meet the sky.
