It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Middleton Place
We went to visit one of the plantations that are in the Charleston area. Middleton Place has magnificent gardens, a mansion, and farm animals. Unfortunately the main mansion, and this structure, called the "North Flanker" were burned to the ground by Union troops just two months before the end of the Civil War. This fragment of a wall is all that is left of a building that was a large library. And of course I love ruins. What really made the photo for me were the tree branches covered in Spanish Moss. The moss lends such a mystical feeling to the landscape, I think.
