Description

Photographing has taken on new perspectives now that I am using a drone to photograph Charleston, South Carolina also known as the Holy City. This is the Battery in Charleston. Behind the Battery Park trees are some of most grand homes in the city. If you look in the distance on the right, you can see the Arthur Ravenel Bridge as well as some of Charleston's famous church steeples and historical attractions.

Off to the right and off the bottom, immediately off this photograph is a landmark defensive seawall and promenade in Charleston, South Carolina. The Battery is a fortified seawall and promenade. It is one of downtown Charleston’s most visited spots. The wall stretches along the shore of the Charleston peninsula, bordered by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers which come together to form the Charleston Harbor. In 1737 Broughton’s Battery, later called Fort Wilkins, was built here. During the 1750's, a seawall was constructed using large boulders, stone, and masonry. Broughton’s Battery was later decommissioned and demolished in 1789. When a new wall and its promenade were completed in the 1820's, locals still referred to it as “The Battery.” Today the Battery is bordered by historic antebellum mansions and offers majestic views of Fort Sumter, Castle Pinckney, the USS Yorktown, Fort Moultrie, and Sullivan's Island lighthouse. This photo was a challenge to edit. It was photographed in February at sunset and combines six images merged together.
