Contri Date: November 15, 2010 - Sidecar Co-pilot - Halloween, 2010 - River Street, Savannah, Georgia
Yorkies are our favorite breed. We've had two wonderful friends over the last 17 years now - one is still with us.. Seems that they just adapt to any lifestyle, anywhere.. This handsome fellow - sporting his "Doggles" heads out with his human "chauffeur" for an evening of fun - Sidecar style - on Halloween.
Over the Halloween weekend, we took a mini-vacation to Savannah in celebration of Red's 55th. Thought I'd share a few of our images from a wonderfully traditional southern city filled with the sights and flavors of a slower paced, friendlier life than we are used to.
I plan on posting even more to our Savannah Gallery at: http://www.louisannimage.com/Travel/Our-America/Savannah-Tybee-Island/9920778_5iZRZ#1079811381_mVGib

Contri Date: November 8, 2010 - The Eye of Sadness... One of a pair of Draft Horses, (I think they were Percheron's) stood awaiting the next fare, pulling Savannah carriage tours. Hidden behind blinders, this magnificent animal's eyes told a story. A tale spanning hundreds, if not thousands of miles - through four seasons year end year out - pacing the streets of Savannah, providing entertainment to a countless hoard of tourists. Wouldn't they rather be somewhere else? Makes ya think...

Contri Date: November 28, 2010 - "Not dead yet..." - Red and I were strolling the sidewalk on the main drag down to the Tybee Island Pier when a glint of color popped through the stockade slats of a privacy fence... I had to investigate. To my surprise, several rusted and faded boats (the amusement park merry-go-round variety) were leaning against the side of an old boarding house. I raised the camera above the fence (and my head) and shot several quick bursts at arms length. Never really thought about what happens when the old amusement park roadshow does it's last performance and lays down to die. Guess this is one outcome. Made for wonderfully colorful image I thought.

Contri Date: November 30, 2010 - Horseshoe Crab - Just a tad dried out - this fellow lost his way and got 'high centered' at the far edge of the morning high tide. To late when I found him.
This will be the last of our posts from Savannah and Tybee Island, where we spent a few days relaxing at the beginning of November.. Thanks for your comments during this series! HB

Contri Date: November 7th, 2010 - The Lucas Theater - Reynolds Square, Abercorn Street, Savannah, Georgia.
Last weekend we took a three day mini-vacation to Savannah in celebration of Red's 55th. Thought I'd share a few of our images for the next few days from a wonderfully traditional southern city filled with the sights and flavors of a slower paced, friendlier life than we are used to.
Strolling one of dozens of Squares in Savannah, a walk through Reynolds Square will allow views of such notable Savannah Landmarks as the Lucas Theater.. Savannah, Georgia - November, 2010
(Exerpted from http://www.scad2.scad.edu) The Lucas Theatre was built in 1921 by Arthur Lucas and architect C.K. Howell. Howell designed theaters across the country and Lucas owned more than 20 theaters throughout the South, though the Lucas Theatre in Savannah is the only one to bear his name. For the next 40 years, the Lucas Theatre became a favorite venue for talkies, musicals, traveling troupes, revues and theatricals.
The Theatre closed in 1976 after a deserted screening of "The Exorcist." (In the following years) There were several attempts to convert it into a viable space, and it was used as a dinner theater and comedy club. But none of the ventures was successful, and the building was slated for demolition more than once.
In 1986, a 14-year, $14 million restoration campaign to rebuild and renovate was begun supported by donations from Savannahians and such celebrities as Kevin Spacey and the cast and crew of "Forrest Gump." The Lucas had a grand reopening in December 2000.
The theater’s future is now assured by a relationship with the Savannah College of Art and Design. The college supports the theater's overhead and uses it for a number of events including the Savannah Film Festival. The college’s support also allows for a wide range of community uses: the Lucas has presented top-line entertainment including opera from London and Italy, European orchestras, country stars, traveling repertory companies and film series. These events bring in an average of more than 1,000 people per week.
