Charleston Kaleidoscope - 2

I was a day ago walking around with my camera in the picturesque lanes of Charleston's Down Town. It was probably for the last time and I took the chance to say a quiet "Good Bye" to all the lovely and pretty places, before we will be leaving this wonderful town.


I don't like to go away from here because I know, I will miss all this beauty of the Southern lifestyle and hospitality!


I will miss also all the historical places and corners, all the big and impressive houses and the stories behind!


I will miss also all the pretty small houses, hidden away in private backyards!


And I will miss also all the many beautiful galleries where we spent many hours looking to the great art of artists from and about "The Lowcountry" here in South Carolina. Yes, Charleston is magic, Charleston is beautiful and Charleston will have always a special place in my heart!


There will be more "Good Bye" photos posted in the next days, stay with me!

  2. Charleston IS a beautiful city and you have done a great job of capturing that beauty in your photos.

    While it may be trite to say, "You will have beautiful photos to help preserve beautiful memories." Right?

  25. Thank you for the pictures of Charleston. I have never been there, so I was surprised to see the houses painted in beautiful colors. It reminded of the buildings in Rome near the Spanish Steps.

    I look forward to your pictures taken in other locations.
