| Old Sheldon Church Ruins, Yemassee, SC © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved (Velvia slide film) About an hour drive south of Charleston are the ruins of Old Sheldon Church. It was built during the colonial era (1753) in Greek Revival style and served the plantations of Prince William Parish. It was burnt by the British during the American Revolution (1779), and rebuilt soon after the war only to feel the devastating effects of General Sherman's March through South Carolina during the American Civil War (1865). These days the ruins are much more peaceful. They are a popular venue for outdoor weddings, picnics, and a favorite subject of photographers. |

ReplyDeleteThe archways beg you to walk through them. No wonder it's a favourite for weddings and photographers, I can imagine there is so much more to it as well.
ReplyDeletea stunningly beautiful place, captured in a most attractive way. the perspective and the angle are superb!
ReplyDelete(my wife's cousin and her husband are in charleston at the moment - i'm sure they'll like it as much as i liked it. i hope they won't feel the effects of sandy too much ...)
Love the mood created by your process: the sepia works so well here, and these ruins are so beautiful like this. I like it.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
A well selected tonal colour sharing an empathy with the old brickwork...
ReplyDeleteNice processing
ReplyDeleteI love this shot--very cool perspective, framing and textures!
ReplyDeleteFantastic mood in this shot! Love the framing, toning and perspective!
ReplyDeleteA lovely image, Doug. As well as the beautiful textures, what I really like about this one is the layering effect, from those outermost columns through to the background.
