| Pyramid, Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston, SC © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved (Velvia slide film) The W. B. Smith Pyramid is one of about 30 surviving pyramid mausoleums in the U.S. It was built during the exotic Egyptian Revival period of the mid-19th century. The beautiful and gothic Magnolia Cemetery contains the graves of prominent South Carolinians, and in particular many who perished during the American Civil War, including the crew of the CSS Hunley submarine. It is a favorite place of mine to explore on occasion, to search for unique or atmospheric photography. Today's image is published in this month's issue of Charleston Magazine. |
