The photo above is the altar inside Saint John the Baptist Cathedral. I love church architecture for it's creativity and symbolism. This image is strait out of the camera, no post-processing. Sometimes you just get lucky... (you can click on any of these photos to see a larger, more detailed image).
Below is the road into the Wormsloe Plantation... truly an old southern plantation. So old, in fact that the old tabby plantation house is no longer standing; only a few remnants of the coquina and tabby covered walls remain.
The drive into the plantation is about three-quarters of a mile long tunnel of arched oaks above a crushed shell road.
Old Savannah is a city of squares (no, not the population -- but the street grid). Each square has it's own character and centerpiece...
This black and white of an open globe is in one of the squares about 4 blocks from the inn where we stayed (I forget the name of the square). Many have statues of famous people in Savannah history, others have sculptures, or simple sitting areas.
I mentioned in my previous post that I had shot quite a few Savannah doors to use in the cover art for my upcoming solo CD project, "1,000 Doors". Here is an example of why...
Finally -- every entrance has to have an exit. The image below is one of dozens taken in the old Boniventure Cemetery -- site of the voodoo scene from the movie version of "Midnight In The Garden of Good An Evil" (the entire film was shot in Savannah and is based on a true story). Until next time, here is an appropriate image for Halloween season...

Wow, the drive into Wormsloe Plantation looks absolutely amazing! If for no other reason, this place makes Savannah one place I definitely want to visit! Thanks.
