Across the Harbor

Shrimp Boats and Gull, Shem Creek, Mt. Pleasant, SC  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved



Across the harbor from Charleston is Shem Creek, in the town of Mt. Pleasant. Here is the perfect place at day's end to watch an assortment of boats coming and going, as well as gulls, egrets and pelicans. Afterwards, take in one of the many restaurants that line the docks.
As you might imagine, fresh fish is the specialty.

    So I searched for and pinpointed Charleston on google maps yesterday and was excited to see place names which you have mentioned alongside your photos!
    Have a great day Doug!

    Do they have mermaids there?
    I love my mermaid sushi!
    No, not sushi made from mermaids.
    But regular sushi placed on mermaids.

    Now, where shall I begin?
    Head or tail? ;o)

    The low light really enhances the feeling of a port, that's been there for many years...
