Prior to 1850 this small building was a spring house. When repaired it was turned into a chapel for a plantation.
In 1865 most of Middleton Plantation was burned by the 56th New York Regiment marching towards Charleston. The chapel remained.
Middleton Plantation, South Carolina.
Photographed on a hill side sloping down towards an old rice field behind Middleton Place plantation. I’m not sure this does the scene justice, big Oaks and Moss are beautiful.
I was hesitant to call this a ‘hill’. We are in the Lowcountry and that means flat, sea level. That said one day I did search for high ground around Charleston. One of the highest is actually right here on this property. It’s a real honest to goodness hill.
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.
Taken with the OM System, OM 1, 14-40 pro lens.
