Cemetery Iron Rust

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.

Found On A Walk, Cemetery Dove

Out again in a cemetery today. This time with only a short lens, and a new camera.

The cemetery is a good place when working with something new since most things rarely move. That didn’t stop me from pushing the wrong buttons, dials, and what not.

Looking for a subject and …found a bird ! A Morning Dove on a broken head stone.

Marsh Reclaiming The Land

Military grave site alongside the salt marsh. This was off by itself instead of being with the military ‘Soldiers Ground’ graves near the entrance.

The marsh, and Ashley River, will claim this soon.  You can Charleston Harbor and ports from here.
