This seems to be the new ‘hot spot’ for sticks. Eventually they will grab all the easy ones and then move on to the treasure trove on the far side of the swamp. They will never exhaust that supply.

Fifteen men began planning for Second Presbyterian Church in 1809. The Reverend Andrew Flinn organized the congregation to accommodate the growing congregation at First (Scots) Presbyterian Church on lower Meeting Street. The new church was built at 342 Meeting St., Charleston, South Carolina at the then substantial cost of $100,000, and on April 3, 1811, it was dedicated as “The Second Presbyterian Church of Charleston and Its Suburbs.” (Wikipedia)
Unusual for Charleston the church is set back from the street, a small park stands in front. Because the church is in ‘upper’ Charleston more land was available at the time.
The building survived the civil war better than most. The canon of the day could not reach here from the ship blockade.
This is the first time I have visited in a while since there was a fire in the spire. Repairs had the church surrounded by scaffolds for at least two years.
This church building is the fourth oldest church in town.

Out and around town looking for new ideas, maybe web site changes.

Forced myself to use a prime lens. No zoom I actually had to move my feet…what a concept!
