Ambiance

On Sunday's in Charleston, the musical sound of bells tolling in historic churches are part of the quaint ambiance of this charming Southern town.

(These two churches are National Historic Landmarks. They are among the 1400 historically significant structures within the Old and Historic
 District of Charleston.)

    A beautifully composed photo, Doug. Both structures are striking but I like the detail and the bell tower on the Lutheran church.

    The angle at which you photograph many of your subjects always makes the images so very interesting and different.

    1,400?! Wow, Charleston definitely has a lot to offer!
    How many of these structures are related pineapples?

    Ha, did you enjoy the opening ceremony of the London Olympics?
    It all went bonkers!
    Rather random too. Ha just like me! ;o)

    Really great knock-your-socks-off colour. With 1,400 architectural gems it sounds like you have enough to keep 'hue and eye' going for quite some time Doug.

    The yellow of the stone combinates so well with the blue sky. Very nice.
    Have a nice day.
