Saint Michael's Sunday

Saint Michael's Church, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok

This colonial era church is the oldest in Charleston (1761), and has withstood earthquakes, hurricanes, fires and the bombardments of the American Civil War. It stands today as a symbol of Charleston's enduring qualities.


For different views of this church, see this earlier post and this post.

    I looked at all three photos of this church and enjoyed each. I especially like the last one, because I love sunsets and I post a sunset every Sunday.

    Thanks for stopping by and letting me enjoy your photos.

    As others have said, it's a lovely sky but the soft light on the shady side of the buildings has a beautiful quality as well.
