| Ornate Cross, Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston, SC © Doug Hickok Carved flowering vines climb this stone cross at Magnolia Cemetery. The large 19th century graveyard is the resting place of many Confederate soldiers who died during the American Civil War, including the crew of the Hunley. The Hunley is an early prototype submarine which sank off the coast of Sullivan's Island during a mission to torpedo a Union blockade ship. The Hunley was pulled out of the sea several years ago, and is on display at the old navy base, where research continues on this archeological gem from a distant era. |

ReplyDeleteOlá, infelizmente o que me traz aqui hoje não é o facto de vir visitar o teu blog e deixar a minha marca respectiva a este seu post, peço desculpa por isso. Assim sendo venho aqui hoje, para o(a) avisar que descobri recentemente que alguém criou uma conta falsa utilizando os meus dados, não ficando contente e satisfeita com a situação a pessoa usou a conta para destabilizar o bem estar de outros utilizadores, a conta so era utilizada para insultar e molestar as pessoas. Venho por isso dizer lhe que se foi alvo de algum comentário menos bom, feio por alguém que usava os meus dados e a minha foto de perfil, este alguém não fui eu! Não sabia disso, não dei permissão para a criação da conta assim como não aprovo nem autorizo tudo o que foi feito! A única conta que tenho, sendo a única que é verdadeira é esta por onde lhe contacto, http://tiagophotografy.blogspot.com/ as outras são falsas ignore! Visite sempre o meu blog, será sempre bem vindo!

ReplyDeleteI love your picture of August 11th.
Quite an intricate cross. Great composition and I appreciate the historical commentary! It's so sad, though, that we have so many cemeteries filled with the dead from so many wars...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice comment on Images!
The textures and details of that cross are stunning. I like your framing a lot, not showing the whole cross makes it an even more interesting photograph. Depth of field and warm colour treatment are excellent too. Bravo!
