Historic Savannah





Savannah holds a charm for me because it has an old soul and many stories to tell. There is history around each corner. When I look at Savannah I see a tinted hue of Autumn softly painted. The colours of the city are brick, with touches of browns and creams, and speckled with coloured buildings.

The dappled morning light of these Autumn days was my favourite part of the day.The chilly air that can allow for a light scarf and some boots. As you drive through the historic neighborhoods, you cannot miss the squares because you have to drive around them, and walking through them is peaceful in the midst of a touristy city. The squares are resting places for tall, giant trees with hanging moss and ample shade.

Here, in this place, there are signs of Autumn. Leaves fallen, a few trees in the midst of changing colours, the clear sky and chilly breezes. And the parks are full of statues and fountains that represent various people or things. The famous Forsyth fountain is from 1858. Stories, stories, and more stories around this little historic place.
