Charleston - United States, South Carolina This is at Charlestowne Landing, where the first settlers landed in Charleston in 1670. Not old compared to the rest of the world but really old for the US! There's an old plantation house here with this pond in the front, full of turtles and alligators (can't let our dog swim in here during the summer). Just happened to catch the right time of day for the picture.

krisek - Feb, 15 2008 04:02pm This is really lovely! Is the water really green? Dogs don't bite the 'gators? :) aufgehts - Feb, 15 2008 04:02pm Hi! Thanks! And yes, the water is pretty green. Some of it is from algae in the water and some is the reflection of the trees. If the dogs bit the 'gators I'd feel a lot safer! zrusseff - Feb, 16 2008 03:02am Jill, that is gorgeous. I didn't know SC has spanish moss. The water is very green - I thought it was a lawn. Very beautiful. mistybleu - Feb, 16 2008 01:02pm This is a wonderful picture. plancarpin - Sep, 01 2008 05:09pm green bayou... I like the light through the branches, and the moss, like fingers trying to dig in the water..
