Mysterious Monday - Porter's Lodge

Porter's Lodge, College of Charleston, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok



What is that skittering sound? 
Is it coming from behind the door? 
I thought I saw a shadow flicker... Am I imagining things? 
No! I definitely heard it this time! 
They say there are ghosts all around Charleston. 
Could it be the ghost of General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregaurd? 
Or did an alligator find it's way here from the swamp? 
Oh! There it goes again! 
I can't stand it... I have to look. 
Aw man... I'm so embarrassed. It's just up and coming rapper, Zee Puff Schmooie, 
on her iphone, tweeting her latest lyrics to her cookin' producer, A Cee.

  5. Did you realize that you and Gen. P. G. T. Beauregaurd share a birthday?
    I'm thinking his ghost was lurking around when you shot this!

  9. You have managed to capture so many interesting things in this rather minimalistic picture, Doug. The wonderful red and green colors, of course, but also the texture in the green. The slightly open door. I also appreciate your composition that creates interest in whats just out of frame, both to the left and in the alley to the right of the picture.
