Savannah || Black Magic (Floating Objects & Fireworks)

A wedding dress floating at a window, forever waiting for the bride to be.

A floating boat, its golden coat glowing in the dark.

And then, there were fireworks.

PS: Fireworks are a recurrent event in Savannah, taking place the first Friday of every month at 9:15pm, at the Waterfront.

Walking in Savannah || Reconnaissance

The Humble Fabulist2 Comments

Savannah is beautiful, discreet and laid-back in an elegant sort of way. If Savannah was a person, she would have been a lady of a certain age and of the Victorian era, sipping her afternoon tea in her lovely garden with friends. As it happens, Savannah is a cool city that attracts millions of tourists every year and yet still manages to keep her composure and good manners, making sure everyone enjoys generous doses of that famous Southern Hospitality and some take away booze* which makes walking in the city all the more interesting. This lady sure has style!

*In Savannah, it is permitted  to carry open drinks as long as they are held in a plastic cup (not in a bottle or mug) and are consumed within the Historic District.

You know you are in Savannah when…

When her majesty the Queen Georgia of Savannah herself invites you on board for cocktails and old time tales; when the ”sweetheart of seafaring men of the world”, Miss Florence Matus ”the waving girl” is still waving her handkerchief welcoming you to her home, just as she did for every passing ship, every single day for forty-four years; and when the night that falls sweetly over the city’s cobblestone squares brings Savannah’s secret world of spirits to life, old souls walk past you and fade into the mist, like a midsummer night’s breeze.
