More than a year ago, we visited Charleston, South Carolina for my BIL's lovely wedding. I took some photos of different sites there, and want to share them with you. Please keep in mind, I did not have my awesome new camera back then, and did the best I could with a point-and-shoot. ;-)
I'm anxious to get back to Charleston. There is so much to see and do!
Thanks for joining me!

| A tree on the property. Amazing how it leans! |
 |
| The plantation is not climate-controlled, or even furnished. |
 |
| A pretty gate leading into the servant's kitchen below the house. |
 |
| A beautiful semi-circle over the doorway. |
 |
| This must've been magnificent in its heyday. |

| A famous ceiling medallion in Drayton Hall. I bought a porcelain Christmas ornament that looks just like this at the gift shop. |

All I can say is WOW!I sneaked over here from your papercraft blog just to have a nose and when I saw these particular pictures, it was like looking at pictures of things I would take! We have incredibly similar tastes - wonderful to have found this blog too!

Awesome photos....I love this kind of photography with the old buildings and plantations. I see some mossy oaks, too. Love those things and made pictures of some while at my son's a month or so ago. Thought I may use one as a header for my blog...time, I need time to get even that done.
I love Charleston, especially the beautiful architectural details and the wrought iron gates. I hope to get back there someday. Thanks for the mini trip.
