Most of them are within an hour of Charleston, some a bit further, exploring. If you're ever un-displaced, let me know and I'll steer you to them -- my standard fee is a cup of coffee. Thanks for looking.
Submitted . . we'll see if it shows up, and then I might have a few more I can put up there. Thanks.
If you have more skyline shots of Charleston r601020, by all means, post more of them in here. There seems to be so few folks who take the time to take good shots of the city. We'd certainly like to see them.
In your post #55... where exactly are these from? I'm in Florida, looking to relocate and your pics are beautiful and just what we're looking for. If you could tell me where they were taken, we would be very interested in going to these places on our future trips. Thanx for posting them!

For what it's worth, I'm originally from Florida . . when the lakes were crystal clear water with white sand bottoms, when dunes lined the oceans, and they spoke English.
Lately, I'm from Arizona.
Recommend a book called West Virginia Waterfalls, which has information on most of the major ones, though I've discovered a few un-named ones myself (not hard to do). One of them is in a gorge and I haven't figured out exactly how to get to it, yet. And in a way, that's what West Virginia is like . . the last placed called America.
So anyway, start with that book, and it gets you up and running on where things are. Although, there's a particular with the author I disagree with, as he states all the roads end in West Virginia. My initial explorations agreed that assessment. However, after naming a few waterfalls for myself, and standing in a place where a river ran clear to the Gulf of Mexico on my left, and to my right it ran to the Atlantic, I realized this isn't any end of a road, but a beginning. Here is one of Earth's cradles of life. Which explains more than anything why there's a constant war to destroy it.
If you come to West Virginia shoot me a PM and I'll help you as best I'm able, at the least I can forward the directions I've been given, "That way is shorter, this way is prettier."
sorry - couldn't get the picture to copy. this comment refers to post #55, bottom right picture of the old dam building along the river.
it's been a little over 25 years since i attended wv tech, but it seems to me that the bottom right picture is along the kanawha somewhere slightly south of montgomery, wv. i've been there before, but the name of the area escapes me at the moment.
