Carolina Beach State Park Wooden Boardwalk Through Forest

Wooden boardwalk winds through a stand of bare deciduous hardwoods at Carolina Beach State Park, its weathered planks curving from the foreground into the distant tree line. The reddish-brown timber shows visible grain and scattered fallen leaves, contrasting against the deep blue sky and patches of green undergrowth and rust-colored ferns flanking the path. Late afternoon light rakes across the boardwalk, casting long tree shadows over the planks while illuminating the pale bark of the trunks and the golden leaf litter on the right. The low camera angle centers the receding boardwalk as a strong leading line, framed symmetrically by tall vertical trunks that draw the eye toward the sunlit bend in the trail.
