These stars mark the spot -- :-) -- of cannon ball hits on the capitol during the Civil War. That's it for my visit to the S.C. State Capitol. I had a nice time.
:-) LOL @ m site giving you the finga. I didn't notice those chunks so much when I was taking the photos. They are pretty cool.
I don't know if those are chunks from original cannon strikes from Sherman's cannons. I am glad he didn't burn the capitol to the ground like many of the other buildings.
Thank you TwoWalks! I enjoy history a lot. I just watched the best documentary on The History Channel called "America: The Story of Us." If you haven't seen it and enjoy history, I highly recommend it.
Preety cool! Wish I could have gone with you. Do you think those chipped out chunks are from a cannon?
ReplyDeleteMy security word I had to post to post :) was "finga" Is your site giving me the finga? How rude! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLike that star up there ... the colors/contrast really stand out! Another chunk missing :)

Thanks for the compliment! :-)
I also like the point of view from the one right above!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful pictures Diane. There is so much history in all of them!
ReplyDeleteThe pink rudbeckia and the purple flower are great shots ... very well done.
I like the pics of the capitol and the cannon shots from that scoundrel sherman in the northern war of aggression.
