Last Batch of Random Savannah Photos
We’ve said it before, and we’ll repeat ourselves again: Savannah is a photographer’s dream.
Warren Square
Laid out in 1791, Warren Square was named in honor of General Joseph Warren, a Revolutionary hero from Massachusetts who was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Chatham Square
The most southwestern of Savannah’s squares is Chatham, on the intersection of Barnard and Wayne.
The Andrew Low House on Lafayette Square
Andrew Low was a Scot who moved to Savannah when he was sixteen. He entered the cotton business and, by the time he was in his thirties.
Crazy Taxi Drivers and Other Savannah Characters
In most cities, you hail down a taxi and drive in silence to your destination. At best, the driver comments on the weather, or is talking on his cell phone in a language you don’t understand.
Colonial Park Cemetery
A historical marker in Savannah’s Colonial Park Cemetery reports that “nearly 700” victims of the 1820 yellow fever epidemic are buried there.
Savannah Icy Winter Dream
When we chose Savannah as our next destination, it was partly because of the weather. In December, the average is supposed to be between 40 and 63°F. So, I never expected to encounter a frozen fountain in Forsyth Park. It’s a beautiful sight, and one that’s relatively rare, so we’re happy to have seen it.…
Captain Mike’s Dolphin Adventure
I’ll admit it. I was already partial to Captain Mike’s Dolphin Adventure, out on Tybee Island, because I like anything featuring my own name.
Cool Coffee at the Sentient Bean
Savannah’s coolest cafe has long been the Sentient Bean. That is, if you measure a cafe’s coolness by its hipster quotient. For us fashion-challenged, self-conscious non-hipsters, the Sentient Bean might be Savannah’s most stressful cafe. Still cool, though.
Hunting Island State Park and the Saga of Seventeen Splinters
After spending the day in Beaufort, we drove out to Hunting Island State Park, a semitropical barrier island that had been used since the 19th century as hunting grounds.
Lafayette Square
Lafayette Square, on the intersection of Abercorn and Macon, is named in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette.
Savannah Close Up – Gingerbread House
With its Gothic houses, squares and Spanish moss hanging from every tremendous Live Oak, Savannah truly makes a great first impression. But far from skin-deep, its beauty only becomes more captivating the closer you look.
