One route between Charleston and Savannah takes you through what is called 'low country' since it's so close to sea level and quite marshy. In addition are historical artifacts from both the US Revolutionary War in the late 1700s and the Civil war in the 1860s. These ruins of an Anglican church convey the devastation of the wars -- it had been burned in each of the wars and in the end, left as a remembrance or reminder.
Great image with lovely details. I must admit when I first looked I thought Europe somewhere, just doesn't look American to my mind, or rather not what I imagined.
My knowledge of US history is not strong on detail, thanks for sharing this image and the history behind it. War is such a waste of time, money, people and resources. When will the world learn?
This was obviously a beautiful building - so sad to see it like this especially as it's a church... interestingly, probably built a bit after our house!
PS - I just saw this building, photographed in its early ruined state, as part of the "Civil War" documentary by Ken Burns. I recognized it straight away. :)
Thought-provoking capture, great details.
