And finally we have the third collection of unedited, unfiltered, untouched photographs. We begin at the State House and continue, as usual, toward the southeast. There are lots of things of interest here for the writing stage. Pay close attention to the replica of the Liberty Bell. Also, the monument to the women of the Confederacy is, in a word, bizarre. Actually, that doesn't begin to describe it. There are a couple of poems (or something like a poem) on the plaques around the base; we'll most assuredly be using some of that material.
Schwitters has promised to post his pictures from the first day sometime soon. And, for the record, we had some trouble with the camera today and kept taking three pictures at once, which is why there are occasionally a bunch that are very similar all in a row. This step, though, in the rules I've given myself (which Schwitters may very well ignore) is to post them all. We'll call it transparency.

Well, I don't have time to look at all of these now, but the first bunch has been breathtaking and will draw me back very soon. Particularly, I like the show with the sun shining through the laurel wreath. I'm am impatient for the promised poems though!
Here's my first comment on these pictures. Those of the state house and the tribute to the daughters of the confederacy. It protrays the basis of the moral schizophrenia that is part of the region. I mean, it is hard enough to get a statue put up, but how do you get it taken down? And Strom was a very good man. And Strom was a very bad man. And the daughters were very good daughters. And the daughters were very bad daughters. It's schizophrenic.
