150 Years Ago

The Civil War started 150 years ago today. I was in Charleston just a few days ago... visiting my niece. She's fortunate to be interning in Charleston with a very creative couple doing wedding and event photography. Here's her photo and RCC school blog.

We took the ferry boat, Spirit of the Low Country, through the Charleston Harbor over to Fort Sumter. Wonderful visit, great time and memories!

Here are a few scenes of the Fort Sumter tour.

Canons at the fort - focus is on the canon
