Given a choice between a magnificent view carved out by Mother Nature or structures made by man; well I'm a girl who can sit by a river, a waterfall, a lake, the ocean, or under a tree in the middle of the woods for hours on end so I'll take the former nine times out of ten.
But there are times I like the shock of energy created by tens of thousands of people all crammed together in one place. Like what you might find at a concert, a festival, or a convention...and I even, on occasion, enjoy the greater energy created by the hundreds of thousands of people that populate a city such as Charleston.
After all, where else are you going to find odd little stores like Indigo-
Calm down Shaun...
...it's just a play on words
-or imposing buildings where ghosts may lurk-
or rock and gem shops appealing to the crow like tendencies in some-
-that have random cool stuff like cave bear paws on display.
And where else are you going to step out of a gem shop and into an ice cream shop-
then find your name sake on a store window three doors down?
Really, where else can you find signs that make you scratch you head- (are they actually saying not to poop here??)
...Or capture a picture of the black eye you got from face planting while rollerblading...oh yeah, you could probably do that anywhere if you're me and prone to accidents:)
Seriously, where else do you get window shopping like this?
And you will definitely struggle to find this set up on the sidewalk of a small town outside of October-
Unfortunately I did not capture the woman(witch?) in the old fashioned flowing dress who peeked out at us from a doorway...seance perhaps?
And even more unfortunate- the pics I took of the street corner doomsday preacher in the cowboy hat did not come out- "The End of the World is Near!" I wanted to tell him "The word is NIGH dipshit, if you're going to do it, do it right!". (Maybe I should have let him know about the cultish activities a couple streets over? That would be entertaining... "Turn to the Lord and be saved!"..."I hex you and your Lord!")
All in all a fascinating excursion into the city at night. What will the daylight bring?
