| Palmetto Shadow and Shutters, Aiken-Rhett House, Charleston, SC © Doug Hickok This could easily be a scene from Italy or southern Spain. The light, color and palm tree shadow have the look of the Mediterranean. Yet it is here, in Charleston. There are times and places where Charleston has hints of an old world appearance, an old world charm. This was one of the first impressions I had when we first moved here from the Midwest. |

ReplyDeleteThe palm trees would definitely surprise me every time I saw them, Doug...as they did in California when we lived there for 12 years!
ReplyDeleteVery warm and beautiful colors. I like the shadow of the palmetto.
ReplyDeleteThe lighting and the warm tones are beautiful and I love your composition!

ReplyDeleteGreetings .-
Such gorgeous color and shadow and light!
ReplyDeletestrong and vivid colors and a most welcome shadow!
ReplyDeletei loved touring the aiken-rhett house - a very impressive building in pretty good condition! the "piazzas" were particularly nice for a rest ...
Ha! Don't forget to show us a pineapple silhouette in the future!
ReplyDeleteBet that's one of your firsts too!
Did you follow my "democracy" link?
I would like to highlight this taken from that link
"We love this country, not because it is great, but because it is our own"
What do you think?
I think it's so wrong.
It's a powerful propaganda but it's rather shortsighted.
Is love really blind? Is it necessary to differentiate what's yours and what's mine? You and me are no different.
I want to build a new nation.
Would you like to donate some palmettos to my country?
I take pineapples too.
love the play with the shadow and the window
ReplyDeleteNice composition of soft tones Doug... the shadow of the palm looks like the shape of a woman hands at her side and a massive headpiece made up of plumes....
ReplyDeleteI'm going to visit as much as possible this week... i have given up trying to catch up on my replies.... i can only be online for about and hour a day until i recover a bit more....peter:)
