Walking around Savannah at night is one of my favorite things to do. Not only is it full of excitement (not getting mugged), but the sights are pretty cool. This is the Anchor Monument along River Street. It is a tribute to all the Sailors that have lost their lives.
A while back I was able to stop for a bit, at the Wormsloe Plantation, after a trip to Savannah. The entrance drive is lined the whole way with live oaks that make a beautiful tunnel to travel through.
Having someone with local knowledge is tons of fun. Especially in a city like Savannah. There were so many stories that I could not remember them all. At least I got the location right for this one. I think my guide said something about this place being haunted, but I remember that about all the places we went.
So, I had a little trouble with the site server and now I’m back up and running. I decided to do a little redesign while I was at it. The next few weeks will see some other changes with the design. Let me know what you think of it.
Established as a guiding light for the budding colony of Georgia in 1732, the lighthouse on Tybee Island is one of the oldest in the United States. It now stands 154 feet tall at the mouth of the Savannah River and still lights the way for mariners.
I took this shot after taking the 178 stairs to the top and back down. Fortunately, we made it before they shut the lighthouse down that day due to an approaching storm.
150 years ago, after the end of the Civil War, Fort Pulaski was turned into a prison for Confederate prisoners. The spaces in the walls for the cannon were closed off and used for housing the prisoners. This is a shot looking into the prison cells.
