Wow! Wow! Wow! It's gorgeous! Does that mean the scaffolding is gone and construction is done or did you shoot around it? Looks like it was a busy tourist day. What's all that green stuff?!?!? ;)
Yeah, they do that queer oxymoronic thing of repairing ruins. I was shocked at the number of people, for mid September. If you look at the pillar on the left you'll see the shadow. That was a cross that lightening struck in the 70s. But it wasn't that old only 150 years. Anyhoos, the light is yellow/golden of a sunset these days. But we've had some storms which swept whatever pollution that clings to higher places. So the grass really was that yellow cast you get from a sunrise/set.
I'll tell you, most of the time I travel I can't get away from the scaffolding. Of course, I get it, but it's pretty frustrating to arrive at some main site you've been dying to see (and photograph) to find it draped in its construction garb. It's a gorgeous shot. I like the perspective, being able to take it all in.
Oh I know. It's almost as if they've decided to paint the thing once they heard I was coming.
Jessy ran out this morning to do her usual run around to check things and stopped dead and started growling. I t took me a while to figure out she was having issues with a fog bank in the field.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I met a guy from Atlanta that I thought was from Texas or Louisiana. Told me he did the 4 hour drive from Atlanta to Savannah in 2.
