Why the locals call it Slowvannah

Savannah, GA is known as "The Jewel of the South." A wonderful place to visit and photograph. All photos taken with my Canon Powershot 550.

Your shooting makes me want to see the plaace!  Great shots.  What is that light blue thing toward the right side of the first photo.  At first, I thought it was a waterfall, but I'm not so sure now.

I never noticed it until you pointed it out. I'm not sure myself -- could it be a ghost??? This is after alll right outside the graveyard.

This is indeed a grave subject!  Let me know when and if you find out.  Actually, upon closer observation, I think it IS a "ghost," a photographic ghost of a man walking there with some kind of light blue shirt, etc.

YOu know I think it is a person walking that has been captured, perhaps giving a double exposure effect.  Is that a reasonable explanition?

There is a lot of history in this area, Eugenia Price wrote a series of historic novels surrounding this historic place.

I too would love to visit there.

That first photo is certainly an interesting one ... I would love to know how you took the picture.

t looks like all the photos got cut off on the right side  or maybe it is because they are all over the 500 pixels limit on the longest side.

I  mounted my Canon Powershot 550 on a tripod and set it for a two second shutter speed. My friend and I walked very slow to get that  effect.
