Think of Charleston, and likely some of the first images that come to mind are of The Battery. Those iconic houses are just beautiful, and the setting couldn’t be more picturesque. Frankly, we go there every time we’re in Charleston. However, this time around, I knew I wanted something slightly different. I still wanted the beautiful old homes, and something classically Charleston… just different. My search led me Colonial Lake in the Harleston Village section of Charleston.
The lake itself is really more of a pond, but it has a nice little walking trail all the way around it, and on three sides of it are some amazing houses. While we were in town the community had several landscaping projects going and so the area was full of newly planted flowers and plants. Very pretty, and well worth a stop on your next visit to Charleston!

Mr Thompson:
Superb night-time photo of Charlestons Colonial Lake environs. I would like to display a varient on my website. Full attribution, but hobbyist I make nothing and may pay no royalty.
I write and produce a “hard-boil original fiction” website, one of whose (3) themes is a Charleston detective living in a classic house on Colonial lake. His section needs a *disturbing* photo. My stories are strictly DARKSIDE with a Lovecraftian bent …. I am trying to expand the genre – – no porn no gore – – but purely adult themes. Appreciate your consideration of my request. All my website art-work is either original or permissioned and I will respect your decision. Now, as for a Cthulhu-esque distortion of your original work …..
Sounds like fun! Let’s talk.
