Looking trough the gates of Heaven

Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
John Lubbock

 

 

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

Hi my friends,

Two days ago we had such a wonderful sunset at the river - and happily I had my camera with me to get these two shots above - I hope you'll enjoy. Sunsets are always magical to me.

 

And yesterday, there was such a wonderful, almost double rainbow against the BLACK sky to the ocean

and you won't believe it,  I had NO camera with me!! :(

Thank you for the kind comment(s) from yesterdays "My Wordless Sunday" post!

Happy Monday everyone!

~Susanne

Were I a cloud.....

Were I a cloud
I'd gather My skirts up in the air,
And fly well know whither,
And rest I well know where.

Fort Sumter is so close, you can almost throw a stone across

Fort Moultrie is the name of a series of forts on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, built to protect the city of Charleston, South Carolina. The first fort, built of palmetto logs, inspired the flag and nickname (Palmetto State) of South Carolina.



History
The fort was unnamed and not yet complete when Admiral Sir Peter Parker and nine British warships attacked it on June 28, 1776, near the beginning of the American Revolutionary War.The soft palmetto logs did not crack under bombardment but rather absorbed the shot; there were even reports of cannon balls actually bouncing off of the walls of the structure. In any case, Charleston was saved from capture, and the fort was named for the commander in the battle, William Moultrie, and the locals, to this day celebrate 'Carolina Day' to commemorate the bravery of the defenders of the fort, the 2nd South Carolina Regiment. The fort was eventually captured by the British in the siege of Charleston. (See the southern theater in the article titled American Revolution for more information).
