Ghostly Savannah
Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 26 March 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
From the VF archives: A ghostly sepia treatment of one of Savannah, Georgia's beautiful old homes. Historic Savannah is one of my favorite city places on the planet.

The sepia works very well with this lovely old house.

Oooo! I really love this VF, the house is just gorgous and the pp works brilliantly to create a feeling of nostalgia.

I love the POV here. It seems to make the entrance look that much more "stately."

For me Savannah is still on my to do list. I wonder if it is similar to Charleston, SC? If my memory serves me right I saw an ad of a guided "ghost walk" in Savannah in a tourist brochure. Your photo would fit right in there....

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Savannah and Charleston are two great cities to tour; they are both historic but each is also unique. The Savannah ghost tours are cool. Charleston has lots of pirate stuff going on. Both are artsy.
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Cool stuff, nice building, very well ornamented, and straight from another period in time.
