Architecture A Taste of the Old South

A Taste of the Old South · 05:06 PM

Last week, I grabbed some DA Limiteds and drove over to the Varner-Hogg mansion in West Columbia - an antebellum house/plantation maintained by the Texas Historical Commission. I intended to shoot flowers and photos of my car in various locations, but I was thwarted by a late spring (no flowers yet) and a watery sun (which reappeared, of course, about ten minutes after I drove away). Still, I soldiered on and and did the best I could - here are some examples of details of the place.

Thanks, my friend. I appreciate it. This is a nice place to shoot - never crowded and you can wander around all day for a buck.

Thanks, much. I orginally posted it in color (in another thread), but at JIMBO's suggestion, I also tried this B&W version.

Thanks, buddy - I probably should have put this in the original thread but I was too lazy to go back and find it

. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, and don't fret about Mr. Lonely being too lonely - he got detailed today.
