Gibbes Rotunda, Charleston, South Carolina

Difficult to photograph, but so worth it.

The rotunda on this building is often seen in skyline photographs, yet I have never shot the inside. Gibbes Art Museum, Charleston.

None were in working order, but considering the age of them it’s no surprise.

I was completely unprepared for these. I don’t think I even noticed the Egret until almost on my head (slight exaggeration) .

In general I delete photographs where I clip wings or miss the angle.

I kept these because this bird missed the spot, the landing was not all that graceful.

The lament of young the world over…

A bored juvenile Heron.

A mid sized local that tends to stay along the edge of trails.

Lately I’ve been shooting away from the water so not many Alligator images. But, it only takes a few minutes near a swamp and…

The question we ask each other is, ‘how many white birds do you need’.

The answer… ‘one more’.

The classic Owl photograph. While most birds, even large ones, continuously move around, not an Owl. Silent and watchful.

Barred Owl.

The first of a series, a surprise treasure. I walked through the door and into a time machine, an elegant one at that.

This is the Charleston Town Hall, Council Chambers. A meeting room / art gallery.

I had no idea there were this many portraits here. Even an incredibly rare John Trumbull (Revolutionary War) of George Washington.

Charleston has been the a city of wealth and history since the 1600’s. This chamber is a ‘who’s who’ of the towns historical figures.

I have additional images to continue this article, this being the first.

I suggest you view the photograph full screen, the chambers were overwhelming.
