Beautiful Decay

Old Garden Door, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved



An old wooden door slowly succumbs to decay,
 while being framed by the lush greens of a winter garden.

  15. Such elegance. It must have been a beautiful door that opens to so many possibilities. Over time, it still stands beautifully.
