The sun came out yesterday afternoon, it was a bit late so we dropped by another nearby plantation. This property is more formal than any of the others around me so only two short lens in my pocket.
Formal is a good description since at one point this was the largest formal garden in the US. Middleton Planation was the home of several of the founding fathers of the country, this being only one of nineteen rice plantations they owned.
This was taken as we were leaving. Unfortunately photography is not allowed in the house.
Middleton Plantation, Charleston, South Carolina.
These really are old manor homes —- reminds me of the British country houses that are so prolific across the Pond.
Many are the same exact designs. When they were built the owners still had ties back to England.
