Number One in the World

Waterfront Battery, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved



Charleston keeps moving up the best hits chart, this time to the very top spot... Conde Nast Traveler magazine just voted Charleston the number one travel destination in the world. That is remarkable, considering all the amazing places there are to see around the globe (as seen in your blogs,
 from around your homes!)

Charleston was noted by readers of the magazine for its "overall ambiance, culture and sites, friendliness, lodging, restaurants and shopping".

For me, I am fortunate to have played a tiny part in this by suppling Charleston's travel industry with pretty but practical images for its marketing over the past 11 years through my website, Hue and Eye Photography and Design. You can see recent samples down the right hand column of my blog
 (yes, that sound you heard was me tooting my horn).

  3. That's nice. Though if you asked Europeans to vote for the same thing they'd come up with an altogether different place! The light in this photo is simply amazing!

  12. A little bit of (paraphrased) Zen prose for the Master...

    My daily photographic activities are not unusual,
    I'm just naturally in harmony with them.
    Grasping nothing, discarding nothing...
    Supernatural power and marvellous visualisation...

  14. No way, surely London is the number one travel destination in the world. ;o)
    For it is still the centre of the world. Ha!
    Charleston is the centre of yaks.
