It’s a wonderful city and I have to do a few posts to show some of the charm of one of my favorite places. I was trying to capture not your typical tourist pictures. There are a lot of places such as Rainbow Row and the Market that I chose not to feature. Those are the places everyone posts. I wanted a little bit of a fresher view. I hope you enjoy. Please let me know what you think.

Outside of downtown Charleston is a tree called "Angel Oak". Nobody knows how old it is exactly. When I was a kid we could climb on it, now it is being supported and your not allowed on it.
