This soaring eliptical stairway is one of the outstanding architectural features in the McBee House.
It was once the residence of George Trenholm, whom Margaret Mitchell is said to have based her character, Rhett Butler, on in her novel Gone With The Wind.

If you're curious about the cover, it's a

Yesterday Charleston had an historic snowfall.
Many roads and bridges were closed due to ice
 and heavy snow. So I took a walk in a park,
with my camera of course.
Our local park is suburban, but quite wild.
