Through Charleston's gates

Bull St., Charleston, S.C.
I do a lot of peeking through Charleston gates into private gardens. Sometimes someone peeks back at me.

If you like wrought iron work as much as I do, pay a visit to VanessaK's amazing photos.

Thanks Fritz. Philip Simmons was amazing, wasn't he? What a gift he gave Charleston.

Yes he was....it is also a good thing that his work was chronicled , that rarely happens

Blacksmithing is my line of work also , I might be working for the Ole Charleston Blacksmith Co
this year and moving to your City, I enjoy reading your Blog it is getting me psyched for the possible move...

Bravo for this fine bit of framing, Joan. I admire beautiful ironwork, and this sure is a good example.

I will be the dork that points out the word you're looking for is "peek". 8-) Don't thank me, just throw money.

Marcheline - it takes a village to correct my grammar and and spelling - join the family! Thanks. I think I made that mistake before.
