The wrought iron fences from 100+ years ago is a continuous fascinating photo subject for me. The ‘rust and ruin’ can be beautiful.
The other day I made a point of focusing (pun intended) of the different styles I found on a walk.
Besides an interesting subject it was a good way to work some new gear, and teach my fingers an entirely new set of buttons and dials.
This is a family plot dating to 1858, pre Civil War. The date is important since in a short 5 years the wealth and style here would completely change due to the war.
The fence looks like a garden arbor.
Not all the fence has survived unfortunately. It’s still better than some which are out in the open to the wet, sun, and storms of the Lowcountry.
Very atmospheric. I’d take many walks here given the opportunity.
We walk there often. There are several cemeteries all along this small back street on the north end of Charleston. Also Charleston has a very large number of old churches, more than a town should reasonably have. This was a major destination for groups leaving Europe for religious reasons. So they all have a church, and old grave yard 👍
Interesting, thanks.
Beautiful works of art! Thanks for sharing.
The artistic work in cemeteries is a favorite subject of mine. Just earlier today I stopped by the ruins of a pre-revolutionary Anglican chapel, out in the middle of nowhere 😂. Found headstones obviously carved up in New England. I think the chapel was burned during the Yamasee Indian War.
