Super Sunset

You can find this view from Brittlebank Park, on the banks of the Ashley River.

Bar Setter

This house on Legare Street just became the most expensive ever sold in Charleston. The price? $13.5 million.

During a break in the storms, taking a stroll along the High Battery is always a good thing to do. There is lots of history among the houses along East Battery. Did you know the yellow house at 19 East Battery is the youngest (built 1920), replacing the Holmes Mansion — oldest house that had been built there (c. 1820). The Holmes Mansion had to be demolished due to damage it sustained in a hurricane in 1911.

The Bridge

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.

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.

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).
