Grateful for travel; thankful to be able to share my words and images.
I’m so appreciative of the lovely readers who share in this wanderlust.
In unison with the words of Susan Sontag, “Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs,” I am sharing one of my recent favourites.
Taken at the Magnolia Plantation (1676) in Charleston, SC, the moss riddled swamp seemed to me at once dramatic, cinematic, and magically peaceful.
NB Definitely click on it to enlarge and see the details.
LM is in Charleston, West Virginia as I write this, M. A very different Charleston, I think…
very different, I am sure syders!
Yes, draped and drenched in mysterious Beauty! A very nice composition, Marina.
Thanks so much karen
Gorgeous image Marina.
Thanks Adrian!
What a mysterious place. I’ve always imagined bad things happening in the mangroves – it always seems to be that way in the movies:)
This mangrove looked very otherworldy – I’ll leave up to your imagination to decide the scene
Thanks!
Beautiful! I particularly love the reflections.
Thanks so much Gabriele!
Great capture! Love the detail!
Thanks so much Karen. There was alot going on and only so much I could frame with the prime lens
Love it. Always wanted to visit there.
Thanks Karen – I hope you’ll visit soon!
Brilliant shot Marina, and I definitely agree with Susan’s quote!
Susan’s quote is perfect for your blog! Thanks Morgan!
Wow, what a reflecting image, Marina, love Susan Sontag, she has great insides in photography.
Hope you enjoy your move to L.A. and get settled in your new life style here, right on time for the holiday season!
Thank you so much Cornelia. The move has been a success and I love LA. Happy holidays to you!
Great to hear from Marina, I guess you are just very busy to adjust to L.A. life style, which is very different from N.Y. HAppy holidays to you too! I will travel up to Santa Monica soon to see friends
it has been busy but the lifestyle will slowly ease
Thank you so much! Santa Monica is close to me!
Reblogged this on Eco Green Travel.
Thank you for the reblog!
Wow, amazing birds and plant life!
Thanks so much! It’s a wonderful place to wander, and ponder within.
That’s awesome. It’s easy to forget how incredible this planet is. I’m glad we have photographers like you to help remind us.
That’s so lovely of you. Thanks so much. I am glad to have shared with you.
It’s a lovely picture, rich and so full of details all over. There is something very exciting about mangroves, and you captured this very poignantly.
Thanks so much Otto. Your comment is perfect – I am glad you saw in this what I tried to capture
Very mysterious! I am a little bit late, but still – happy Thanksgiving! Did you celebrate it?
Hi K! It is rather dramatic and mysterious, isn’t it? Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes. We did celebrate with my husband’s family. Lots of good food and cake.
I’m an Australian soon-be international airhostess. I hope one day I will be able to visit here, it looks so so so beautiful!! xx
Hi! Which airline will you be working with? Charleston is indeed gorgeous and I think as an Aussie, you’d love the pace, the space, and the natural beauty. Thanks!
