On Meeting Street in a horse drawn carriage tour, this group has just passed the First Scots Presbyterian
Church, where a wedding has just concluded. This photo was manipulated with an option called posterize.

weekend in Charleston.

A photograph of St. Michael's Episcopal Church at Broad and Meeting Streets looking very stately in afternoon
sunlight. The picture was taken right after the recovery from Hurricane Hugo and the weathervane is missing
from the top of the steeple.
A sideview of the St. Michaels Episcopal Church that shows the damage the hurricane had done to the roof.
This photo shows the back side of the church in the graveyard section and the steeple's weathervane
had now been replaced. This photo was taken some twelve years later.

The back view of the church with a look from a gated fence in the church's graveyard.
This is a historic home in Charleston that was converted into commercial space for attorneys and other
office based business's. This building is very typical to the homes that are found throughout the
Battery area of Charleston.
A stairway inside the door of the historic home converted into an office building. I took this photo because
of the light coming on the stairs, balustrade and columns that had an interesting design.
Another similar residence on Meeting Street in Charleston featuring a tri-level facade and faces the
Charleston harbor. Many of the historic buildings in the city have brick that is covered by plaster
and it enables the mason workers to create a more presitigious design to the residence.
A Victorian home on Meeting Street in the battery section of Charleston. The double turret design of
the facade on this home is a frequent crowd pleaser for tourists visiting the city.
A front door to a stately home on Meeting Street that definitely affirms the buildings colonial origins.
Another similar door to a home in the Charleston battery and has the simple elegance of time tested
architectual features that have been present from the early colonial days of the city.
A cherry tree in a public park that is just off of Meeting Street. The marble urns that were once on top
of the columns have long been gone due to age or possible vandalism.
As I started this small set of photographs with a ride in a horse drawn carriage, the photo tour around
Charleston now ends with the carriage moving up Meeting Street to return the tourists to their cars.
