On a back-road we discovered a pre-Civil War plantation that was NOT registered for tourists. We were able to convince a wonderful but reticent, shy lone woman to let us poke around. Nothing was restored; not even faded, peeling, smoky wallpaper. She herself looked like a remnant nanny from those times, wrapped bandana and all! Anyway, this gate post was definitely a relic.Friday, May 11, 2007

Wow--this is so cool. I love the Spanish moss draping down--the color contrast to the red brick, and the echo of the iron work, is really effective.
