This most fascinatingly odd off-the-beaten-path tourist attraction in South Carolina sadly burned down a few weeks after 30 years of astonishing visitors who came to the small town of Bownan to see it and maybe meet the creator of this public artwork like no other. I took this photo about ten years ago on my one and only visit. Unfortunately, it was about an hour and a half drive from where I live, not so easy to get to. But I never forgot it.
Retired from careers in journalism, teaching, and information technology. True passion is landscape and flower photography, gardens, walking, sunsets, good books, my iPad....
Now that is really sad and will surely be missed by many. what an amazing character the creator must have been. At least you got a great shot of it and the memory will stay.
