Round these parts

I subscribe to the 'charleston' RSS feed from flickr (as well as 'knoxville' of course), and the above photo is definitely one of the best I've stumbled across.

The photo below was on the wonderful riotclitshave photoblog recently. That's the Angel Oak tree here in Charleston on Johns Island. It's possibly the oldest living thing in the country east of the Rockies. I went once to see the monster and take some pics of my own, but unfortunately the park gate had closed just a few minutes earlier.
