This is the most beautiful Christmas deco I ever have seen!
Slave cabins
View trough the gates back to the "Avenue of Oaks"The Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens
is an antebellum cotton plantation located in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina near Charleston, South Carolina and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The plantation includes a large post-civil war farmhouse, a number of original slave cabins (which were occupied by sharecroppers well into the 20th century), several flowering gardens, and the historic "Avenue of Oaks": a mile drive up the house with live oaks on either side. It sits on Wampacheeoone Creek in the Christ Church parish about 10 miles from historic downtown Charleston.
The earliest known existence of the ground is 1681. It originated from a land grant given to Major John Boone. The land grant of 470 acres was given by Theophilus Patey as a wedding present to his daughter, Elizabeth and Boone. The original wooden house was constructed in 1790. The house that stands now was built by Thomas Stone, a Canadian who purchased the land in the early 20th century. He wanted a "grander style" home than what was there, so he built the Colonial Revival-style house that stands there today. However, the bricks in the house were taken from the Horlbeck brickyard.

Your blog and pictures are amazing as usual. I like the way you represent an object. By the way I'm going to buy a new camera. I don't believe on online review of cameras. It would be very kind of you if you suggest me a good camera.
