I just completed two SlowPhoto albums, related to the recent Savannah Get together.

The first one is of the Historic District of Savannah plus Tybee Island-

The other has a few photos taken on our road trip down there from Chicago - I titled it "Contrasts-Heading South"

(Kim - I'll add my photos of the Savannah SlowTrav Get Together events to the album created for that. Question: Should I place my 24 photos of Savannah and Tybee Island in that Get Together album as well? Thanks!)

Hey Linda!

Your photos are fabulous. The Walterboro cemetery photos are brilliant! You said it perfectly: "It pays to explore".

Another of your albums I stumbled upon and will look at more closely, The Isle of Guernsey. A place I'd love to explore one day!!

Ciao,

Pokey

It was such fun to sit with you and Steve at the Sat. night event in Savannah.

Linda, it was great getting reacquainted with you and Steve in Savannah.

Not being a photographer, I truly appreciate your images in bringing back to life the whole wonderful experience.

Thanks for the generous remarks on the photos, Joan & Fred, and Mindy.

That Walterboro cemetery was a photographer's dream. Just before we got there, the fog was heavier and it would have been even better in that heavier fog. So atmospheric.

Mindy, the Isle of Guernsey is pretty magical. It was a complete surprise for us. We had friends living there on business, and we visited for 10 days. It was a fabulous experience. It is like the most scenic and storybook parts of rural England. We loved it there. Go if you can.

Beautiful, beautiful photos Linda! Thanks for posting them. What kind of a camera do you use? Your shots of the Tybee Island have convinced me to go back to Savannah some day, as there is so much I didn't have time to see.

Thanks, Colleen.
It's a Sony CMOS 10.3 - a big clumsy thing that I like a lot, despite the fact that it is a pain to carry around. It just feels right, and I'm never happier than wandering around taking photos of some cool place.
I've yet to post my SlowTrav event photos, but will do so.
Great to have a face with your name.
Linda

Linda, your photos are breathtaking. You have an artist's eye. John and I enjoyed meeting you and Steve in Savannah. I hope our paths cross again.

Linda, we can link your personal albums to the Savannah Gathering category, this way you don't need to copy photos to two different locations on slow photos. Is that what you mean?

Linda,

Great pictures! I really have to learn how to post some here (or even whether I have the right software to do so). The one you call "Rustic," in Kentucky, shows what has come to be called barn quilts. (Or see: this.) They have become quite popular in the mountains of East Tennessee and Western NC, though I recently heard that they originated in Ohio - which puts Kentucky right in the middle, yes?

In fact, several barn quilt trails have been identified. We've been meaning to follow one and take some photos. We passed a lovely one just today on our way into town. Doyle wants to make one based on one of the patterns his mother used in quilts she made and put it on the front of our house below the deck. He'd use a 4' x 4' block.

Below is one that's not too far north of here in the next county (Ashe).

Ann

Ann, we saw quite a few of those barn quilts. Now I know more about them! My grandmother was an expert quilter and made many quilts of all styles. I'm lucky to have a few.

It's a beautiful part of the country. I wish I could've taken more photos.

Linda
