Magnolia Springs

Traveled to the little town of Magnolia Springs, AL on the banks of the Magnolia River. Interesting trivia, the only city in the US that still receives it's mail by boat. Couple of shots from the town.

1st is Oak Street, a two block street with centuries old Live Oak trees covered in Spanish Moss, lining each side.

Next is the historic Swift-Cole House on the banks of the Magnolia River.

Yo smoke, love the sense of depth in your first shot. Liking the second too.

Thanks, standing there looking I actually had a little vertigo.

First image with the light falling through the tree canopy is intriguing. The other image doesn't appear to fit though, although it's black and white.

Thank you, the Spanish Moss over the oaks forms a translucent cover, that diffuses the light. The Swift-Cole house was more open

Pic 1 is nice but I'm bothered by the tilted verticals in Pic 2. Fixed

Thanks for looking, but it's considered bad form to edit images of those which have "images not okay to edit". I'll revist the image but please delete your edit.
