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.

Old Carriage House
None were in working order, but considering the age of them it’s no surprise.
The Watcher, Owl
The classic Owl photograph. While most birds, even large ones, continuously move around, not an Owl. Silent and watchful.
Barred Owl.
Walked Into A Treasure (1)
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.
Egret, Climbing Up High
Several photographs here where choosing to pull back on a zoom lens worked out well. It’s not like you have a lot of time to make the decision, so not all come out as planned.
These images used the empty (negative) space to place all the focus on the bird.
For me the danger of doing this is pulling back too far and finding the great looking bird is only a tiny speck in the photograph. I speak for experience… 😀
Across The Courtyard, Old Charleston
Behind an old manor house, hidden from sight, are the stables, carriage house, and servant living quarters.
Taken from inside the living quarters of the enslaved people.
The Start Of The Sunflowers
Sunflowers, thousands of them, are planted every year in a wildlife management area. Cultivated and protected by solar paneled electric fences.
The seeds are left to grown and dry, on the plants. They are there to feed passing birds.
