Jamestown, Virginia, USA. After a two-week search for a settlement site, when English colonists moored their ships to trees on the shore of this island, they went ashore and established the first permanent English settlement. The site was chosen because it was defensible, not as ideal land for farming. The island had large sections of wetland, bug infestation, and lack of potable water. In spite of this, they stayed. This is the area immediately inland from the fort site, it portraying the very limitations of the island for a permanent settlement.

Wow...the situation for the settlement was bad! That terrain is not very hospitable. Great capture!

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
This very good capture makes visible that there was a struggle for life indeed Thad, the more that we have to realize that there were no tools and equipment available that we have now.

I feel like I have just stepped on the future USA's shore for the first time, Thad.
Great job of putting us into the photo, which is a good one.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Excellent image Thad and most interesting info too.

I guess they must have liked the place in spite of the negatives. Beautiful shot, Thad.

Looks like a setting I'd encounter in my part of the world. Love the lush foliage with a bit of swampy water peaking through. Wonderful capture, Thad.

That must have been one slick travel agent to sell them folks on this vacation property. A good shot of the swamp, Thad. A nice perspective in the image.
