I took these back over the summer of 2004 when I went up to Charleston. There are a few of Beaufort and Hilton Head tossed in, too. I've got some more pics, and I'll post them when I can.

Hope you like them!

And, My Personal Favorite:
---By chance, one of the glass panes on the door installed on the lighthouse to keep trespassers out (for safety reasons) had been knocked out, so I peeked my camera in to get a peek at what was inside...This is what I found:


Well, what do you think?

Thanks for the positive feedback!

I was lucky to get that shot inside the lighthouse, LSyd. The door was locked (and for good reason, the building was crumbling). Like I said, there were glass panes on the door each about the size of a computer screen, and one of them had been knock out, so I stuck my camera in through the hole to snap a pic of what the lighthouse looked like inside. Pretty Cool, huh?!


I look forward to your pics, MattSal

Here's a link to a panorama from the top of the lighthouse:
