Wrought Iron Balcony

Charleston, S.C.

In the Charleston vs Savannah discussions it is often mentioned that Savannah has more wrought iron work than Charleston but you have to admit that we do have some of the most magnificent examples. I found this discussion where someone stirred up a hornet's nest by saying the two cities were almost identical. Commenters uploaded photos to demonstrate the similarities and differences.

Not only do we have great iron work, but we also have some Savannah style row houses.

I need about four more hours in a day, kids. Four might do it.

Iron Patriotism

I was all set to post a picture of the John Adams statue today until I stopped by the constuction site of the new Quincy high school wing and saw this iron worker. As he was erecting the steel I-beams, 50 feet off the ground, I saw him stop to unsnag our country's flag from the block and tackle that hoisted the I-beams. I was touched by this show of respect while working and thought here's a man who doesn't take anything for granted. What an unexpected show of patriotism.

Happy Birthday to our country this 4th of July!

The iron grate work on a red brick building provided some shapely shadows.
