| Horse Carriage and Dock Street Theatre, French Quarter, Charleston, SC © Doug Hickok If you come to Charleston, it might make sense to catch one of the horse carriage tours through the Historic District. They are fun and informative, and a practical way to see the city if you want take it slow and easy... little effort is needed on your part. My preferred way to sightsee in Charleston is walking, even if it takes more energy. Charleston is one of those places that is better sampled up close, where you can enjoy the details you see along a leisurely stroll, going at your own pace. But however you tour, do not, I repeat, do not use a pogo stick as your mode of transportation. That would make no sense at all. |

I'll be right over!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Doug..... nice colors to.
ReplyDeletegreetings, Joop
I also always choose walking around the city. This is the best way of sightseeing. And and of course best is individually, not in an organized group where it's always chaos and confusion and can't always we see what we want, but this is what dictates the program tour.
ReplyDeleteSo let's go for a walk around the city.
awww, and i had my pogo stick so neatly packed. happy to have the old format back, doug. thanks.
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I promise, Doug, to never take my pogo stick to Charleston. If I can ever get there at all again, I will definitely go the walking route...of which there are several, I'm sure.
ReplyDeletelooks like we've been in a time-machine :)
ReplyDeleteColorful!
ReplyDeleteI rather also walk whenever I can:)
ReplyDeleteLovely that iron lattice on the balcony!
ReplyDeleteNice motion image. Walking is best, but this would be a pleasant ride.
ReplyDeleteinteresting shot. Love the way that building looks.
ReplyDeleteAn image which, somewhere, reminds me this magnificent movie "Gone with the wind"
ReplyDeleteHa! Can I use two?
ReplyDeleteTwo make a good jumping devise.
Imagine stilts on spring.
Don't you think Charleston looks like New Orleans? Just a bit, minus the horses. ;o)
yes, i do agree with you here ... walking the streets and alleys of charleston is a cool way of feeling the vibes of the place, the good and the bad (slavery?). and we cleverly refrained from any other mode of transportation, too ;-))
ReplyDelete(so you've decided to stick with the old template, it seems!)
hi, me again!
ReplyDeletejust read your comment on my blog today - thanks for your very encouraging words, doug. and yes, if ever you come to wales, be sure to visit tintern abbey! its location, its dimensions and the architectural details are definitely in a category of their own!
I love the motion and bright colours in this shot :D What a beautiful place that is! Great work x
ReplyDeleteLooks very cool :-)
ReplyDeleteAre you saying Doug that there isn't a branch of Hertz Rent-a-Pogo-Stick in Charleston!
ReplyDeleteNice the way that you caught that iconic wrought ironwork behind the nicely blurred Avis Rent-a-horse-carriage.
A great contrast here between the moving carriage and that elegant background, Doug. Both the architecture and the carriage emind me of my quite recent trip to Sacramento while I was staying in San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteI would walk... and I don't own, nor would I rent a pogo stick, even if they had them!!!
Beautiful shot of your fair city and as always a great witty post. Great stuff Doug!
ReplyDeletelol.. good advice.. ;)
ReplyDeletegreat shot as well with the motion blurred carriage in the foreground.. :)
