The mile long liveoak drive and gate of Wormsloe Plantation, Isle of Hope, Savannah, GA. There are about 750 acres in the now state owned historic property, which includes a museum and the tabby ruins of the fortified house of Noble Jones, the original owner of the property through a King's Grant. About 50 acres are still in private ownership, which includes a mansion and gardens, by descendants of the Jones family.
Thanks for looking. I always appreciate any comments, and the time spent in doing so.

5 commentsThis is really sweet, Phil. Excellent symmetry here with both sides being perfectly aligned. The moss laden trees just add to the mystique and heritage look and feel, as well as the archway with the historical dates.
This looks like an amazing place to visit from this POV and your description as well.
I do have to add to any image I see with tree lined roads or paths, especially this one from this southern locale here, it immediately takes me back to the Twilight Zone feature called "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge". Although actually a French made production as I recall it was based upon a hanging event during the Civil War. If you catch the full half hour feature on YouTube it shows the ending with the tree lined roadway. I suppose more of a carriage pathway from that era. One of my favorites from that long TV series.
I like this. Your photo piqued my curiosity so I went to Google Maps to see where this was. Looking at the street view of this scene, I'd say you did a great job in post-processing. You created a certain mood and sense of timelessness that is not all that evident from the street view.
This is good, Phil. Great perspective and a bit eerie. Well done.
Very nice job on this Phil! Love the old weathered look of the centered gateway, & the spanish moss hanging above..
I especially like the view down the center, it pulls you head first down that long road
PS - I think Pauls narrative beat yours for interest.. And the fact that I'm a Twilight Zone fan from way back
Phil: very appealing framing with the entry gate and mirror image trees very nicely framing the driveway. Not sure what you did in post, but I like the dreamy quality of the end result. The local Chamber of Commerce could use this as a poster to attract visitors. Congrats. Richard
