I was shooting the progress of the Inlet House demolition at the Virginia Beach Loop (near Waterman's and 5th Street) and turned "Big Bird" toward Rudee Inlet, the Grom Park and the surfers by the rock jetty at the inlet. There's a nice open space now for flying from the demolition site to the inlet.

Another southern plantation colonial-era church, the Chapel of Ease on St Helena Island. The chapels of ease were constructed on or near the plantations since the plantations were located far from churches in towns. Constructed between 1742 and 1757, most of this structure was destroyed by a forest fire in 1886. Some of the "Big Chill" movie was filmed here.

Hugging the Old Coastal Road Route 17 in Georgia you'll cross the Darien River and see this off to the right (east). This was a distant shot from the bridge, but also walked all along the dock beside these boats. Spied not a single mermaid in their nets. Love this stuff.
