Hampton Park, View Of The Citadel

Small Building at Magnolia Cemetery

Pen & Ink sketch from Magnolia Cemetery. This is what I jokingly refer to as the Guest Relations Office. I think it actually houses some historical info.

Sat in my car and captured this view across Colonial Lake.

This view is from Concord Street looking toward the park across from the Maritime Center. The large building in the background is Gaillard Auditorium on Calhoun Street.

Breach Inlet, Sullivan's Island

A bright, sunny day on Sullivan's - this view is from the little parking area off of Middle Street on Sullivan's right before you go over the bridge across Breach Inlet to Isle of Palms.

Moultrie Street, Downtown Charleston

Taken on a rare day where there is a threat of snow in Charleston - hard to believe considering it was in the 70's only a few short weeks ago at Christmas. It's a few years since the last time we saw any snow - and that was just a few flurries. Moultrie Street runs right along the south side of Hampton Park.

Air Traffic Control Tower, Charleston International Airport

This view is of the air traffic control tower at the Charleston International Airport. This was from Sunday also - cold, raining and otherwise dreary.

Cigar Factory, Charleston

A view of the sales center for the Old Cigar Factory in upper downtown Charleston. the factory has been a number of things in its past, including a cigar factory. More recently it has housed offices and a culinary school. It is currently being revamped to be used for office suites and condos.

Sullivan's Island Lighthouse

Kind of an un-lighthousey looking lighthouse - this one shows up in some of my sketches now and then from afar. Spent this past week driving out to Sullivan's Island since I hadn't really been out there in awhile and it's not all too far from the office where I work. Check here for information if you're interested.

Sullivan's Island Bridge

I was headed back to work and was caught by the drawbridge going from Sullivan's Island into Mount Pleasant. Had to sketch fast before the bridge turned...

Sullivan's Island Fire and Rescue Training Facility

A cloudy, windy day for drawing. This is a fire training house for the Sullivan's Island Fire Department on Ion Avenue at Station 20-1/2 Street. It's a bizarrely configured structure that (I can only assume) is rigged up with gas piping so you can simulate a fire in order to train rescue squads. Couldn't find a good vantage point and I was really closer to it than I wanted to be so it's a little hard to tell what is going on from the sketch.

North Hobson Avenue, North Charleston

This is an area of Charleston that is currently being revitalized. It is part of what is known as the Noisette area of North Charleston. Twenty years ago this area was a shipyard. Heres a Google street view:
