No, we're not morbid, however we did briefly stop by another cemetery, this one is right in the middle of Savannah (I can't recall the name off hand). This gravestone stuck with me. In case you have a hard time reading it, it says that Anne died a few days after the birth of her 15th child, at age 41 in 1793.
Since my Brother in Law's name is Gordon, I had to shoot this street sign ;)
I have a thing about doors, and doorknobs.....
Speaking of which, this church door has NO doorknobs. I guess you need to know the secret knock to get in!
The ceiling of Saint John the Baptist Church:
The steeple of the First Presbyterian Church, where the feather dropped in the movie Forrest Gump. Apparently I am the only person who has visited Savannah and has NOT seen the movie. I think I ought to ask Brett to add it to his Netflix queue!
Peeking through the gate into someone's lovely backyard:
One of the 22 squares in Savannah. I love how the city was laid out around them!
Well, that makes me want to visit Savanah! And it makes me want a day to walk around our own town with my camera and take photos (not today, it is rainy, 44 degrees and very windy, so I'll just stay inside, thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous place. I love all the details you captured...especially all the metal work on that door. And that poor woman---15 by the age of 41?! I certainly hope there were multiple births in there. Talk about perpetually pregnant... The ceiling of that church is gorgeous. I really like that shade of blue.
ReplyDeleteIncredible snippets of Savannah - I am fascinated by tombstones and don't consider it morbid at all - so many stories in those stones, a glimpse into the past. I also LOVE that metal art door - incredible. Now, about Forrest Gump - how can you have not seen that yet? My family is a little odd and we love throwing out by-lines from movies, and Forrest Gump is full of them. That and O'Brother Where Art Thou - some many quotes, so little time.
ReplyDeleteWould love to visit Savannah! And your photos make me want to go even more!
ReplyDeleteSavannah is on my bucket list of places to visit. One day!! I also love shooting in old cemeteries.
