Four Columns

City Hall Columns and County Courthouse, Four Corners of Law, Charleston, SC

A row of four columns leads the eye toward the old County Courthouse in Charleston, which was designed by Irish architect James Hoban and dates from 1792. 

 Hoban met George Washington when the president visited Charleston, and later won a competition to design the presidential mansion, more famously known as the White House.

    Interesting painterly rendition of this architectural shot. The softness and the pastel colors go well together.

    interesting info to go with this striking architectural image! the perspective that leads the eye along the bases of the columns towards the house in the distance works particularly well here !!!
