Savannah, GA - A Different Perspective

Savannah has been photographed in many wonderful ways, so I decided to put my own little spin to it. I tried to create images that people usually do not see of Savannah while still being true to the city and it's history. I love this place. The city has one of the biggest ports in the United States. It is a common site to see a cargo ship pulling into port. More imporantantly the first steam ship to cross the Atlantic left from the port of Savannah.

The history of this city is amazing! Some of things that shaped this country's future started right here. During the Revolutionary War the first battleship was taken from England and used against them. The city has played major roles in the Spanish American War, the Civil War, World War I, and World War II.

During the Civil War Savannah was not touched by Sherman who burned his way accross the south. It is believed he saved the city from destruction as a gift to a woman he loved. How romantic. Enjoy the images, and I hope you all get a chance to visit here.

The image of the statue above has an interesting story. The statue is called the Waving Girl. The story goes that this lady made a promise to a sailor she was deeply in love with to wave at every ship that came into port until his return. She waived everyday as promised, but her true love never returned.

Enjoy!
