Echoes of the “Old South,” Beaufort, South Carolina, 2014

This image attempts to capture the atmosphere and mood of not only Beaufort but also of the Old Confederacy itself, as it existed before the American Civil War. I layer a Victorian fountain from that period against the softly focused cascades of moss hanging from the branches of a nearby Oak tree. The image reminds me of a stained glass window, commemorating a vanished society.

Yes, the softly focused moss comes through as a watery cascade, muted in color and contrasting to the deep blues of the shiny fountain. Thanks for the observation, Carol.

The vertical pattern of the cascade in the background, along with the muted colors of it suggest a rain-like feeling. Beautiful contrast to the shiny and quite brightly colored fountain.
