Beaufort, SC The Majestic Way Live Oaks B&W......by Reid Callaway
Live Oaks Tomotley Plantation Landscape Art
The beautiful live oak trees of this historic plantation road welcomed me. I stumbled upon them after visiting the Old Sheldon Church ruins near Beaufort, SC. Little did I know but it was Tomalley Plantation and the Lord had heard my silent prayers that morning to help me find such an entryway as this to photograph in the low country of South Carolina near Beaufort, SC.
