View Toward Saint Michael's Church

Saint Michael's Church on Broad Street, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok


On a soft Charleston evening, Saint Michael's Church stands prominently above Broad Street, the steeple being one of the city's iconic landmarks. Broad Street was a main thoroughfare even in colonial days, a focal point in the original walled city. Today it is lined with 19th century commercial architecture replete with real estate companies, law firms, art galleries, restaurants, cafes...
  and of course a couple of churches.

    The golden light makes everything look really exotic. If yo'd said it was taken in Egypt I wouldn't have been surprised.

    Ha! I recognise that church!
    One of your favourite subjects in town.

    Aren't those the same palm trees featured on your state flag? ;)

    Great composition--starting with the negative space, I love the heavy presence of triangles throughout the shot. Gorgeous light too!
