Description
Pineapple Fountain at Sunrise in Charleston, South Carolina
The Pineapple Fountain in Charleston, South Carolina is popular with both locals and visitors. Located in Waterfront Park overlooking the Cooper River, Charleston Mayor Joe Riley has named the park, "this generation's gift to the future."
I came to Charleston looking to photograph its beautiful antebellum mansions and to dig deeper with my camera into its rich history. I spent the first morning along the Battery, Charleston's most iconic spot, with views of the Charleston Harbor and gorgeous mansions. I didn't get the sunrise shot I was looking for so I spent the rest of the day pounding the pavement seeking inspiration.
At noon time I was exhausted so I headed for the Blind Tiger Pub (a favorite of mine - sit out in the patio area and order one of their wonderful burgers). After I ordered I pulled out my Moon travel guide for Charleston & Savannah and lo and behold right on the front cover was a photo of the Pineapple Fountain! After lunch I strolled over to nearby Waterfront Park and upon seeing the fountain I immediately envisioned an exceptional sunrise shot.
