Love the reflection shot you did! Perfection!
What a calm looking place and all the moss hanging from the trees. Reminds me of Savannah.

The pictures taken through the windows are really pretty.
It's so pretty there! I love the next to the last photo. :)
Enjoyed reading about the history of this place and the reflections in the window and view from inside of the old church.
Such a pretty church....wow that courthouse has been kept in good shape
For me, the best thing abut this is your wonderful window reflections!! This is also the prettiest courthouse I have ever seen!!! None of that huge dark stone or brick with an imposing statue of Lady Liberty looming above.
I LOVE that shot out the window - where you see the beautiful white building and the Spanish Moss!
Beautiful photos!
