Three French Windows

Three French Windows, Elliott Street, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved

Wandering the streets of Charleston during the quiet of daybreak is usually rewarding for photographers. Catching the morning light just right transforms an ordinary scene into something magical. I like the way this old brick wall frames these three French windows. The slanting light adds a pleasant patina of warmth and texture.

    Nice composition. The light at dusk is better for me. Dawn doesn't agree with me.

    I like the framing of the photos. The ironwork at the windows is very nice.

    Wrong country I know, but it would have been nice to have a Juliet leaning over the balcony rail..."Doug, Doug wherefore art thou".
