Theatre Courtyard at Twilight

Dock Street Theatre Courtyard, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok


This is the courtyard to the newly renovated Dock Street Theatre in the French Quarter of Charleston. It is a place patrons gather during the intermissions of plays, concerts and other performances, and is perfect for a bit of fresh air, a cool drink and light conversation.
Not far from the theatre is Magnolia's restaurant, where Becky and I went for our anniversary dinner last evening. A loud shout out to our friend Edward, our favorite waiter, who entertained us with a fabulous feast never to be forgotten.
Take a bow Edward. Bravo!!!

    I love the blues of the courtyard against the yellows of the hall. Seems like a lovely spot for an anniversary celebration.

    Excellent perspective shot, and the blue glow at the end of the corridor promises magic.

    That's a beautiful composition - I like the contrast between the warmer and cooler colors...
