Charleston Pt. 2-The Battery and Bowens Island

Along The Battery, it's about what is there- what can be seen behind the iron gates of these Antebellum estates, and what can be imagined as being hidden from view.
History.
Morning light.
Details.
Oink.
Extravagance.

Legacy.

Principle: Strive to harmoniously integrate architecture and surroundings.
Reason: Creating cohesiveness between architecture and nature promotes aesthetic harmony; the sense that things are as they should be.

At Bowens Island, it's about what isn't there...
Irony: "Sophisticate"
He's everywhere. Eight days.
Affordable seafood. A simple menu. Countless names written on the walls. "People either like it or they don't." - May Bowen

This is another must see if you ever make it down to Charleston and I'll leave it at that.
