The new Cooper River Bridge (call it the Ravenel, if you must) with some ethereal skies. The new span (ok, it is 16 years old!) replaced two old spans — the Grace Memorial Bridge and the Silas N. Pearman Bridge.
The Bridge
Spanish Moss… Not
Some wonderful Spanish Moss hanging out on Anson Street. Its name is a complete misnomer as the plant is neither a moss nor from Spain!
Crepe Myrtle
A welcoming archway of crepe myrtle trees on lower King Street. We get to enjoy that a long time, as crepe myrtles are the longest blooming plant in Charleston.
SJLC
St. Johannes Lutheran Church on Hassell Street was built in 1842 after a bunch of German immigrants left St. John’s Lutheran Church when it dropped its monthly German language service.
Waterfront Park
This beautiful early morning scene is on the walkway in Waterfront Park, right by the Pineapple Fountain.
CofC
The College of Charleston sure is pretty.
2 of 4
The federal and ecclesiastical law portions of the Four Corners of Law being lit by the early morning sun. The missing two are state law (represented by the County Courthouse) and local law (represented by City Hall).
Unitarian
The Unitarian Church, located on Archdale Street, is the oldest Unitarian church in the South and the second oldest church building in Charleston.
Just Another House
When walking around the South of Broad neighborhood, there are just a few eye-catching houses. You can find this one on Lamboll Street.
Lake Level
In order to help combat flooding from storms, the city now has the ability to drop the level of Colonial Lake — so that it acts as a catch basin for excess water. With Tropical Storm Elsa perhaps heading this way, the water levels are now far below the norm.
