I enjoy your missives on the places photographed as much as the pictures. Slipping in a few statistics peppers up the lovely descriptions. I was on the fence regarding a trip next month to Charleston. You’ve pushed me into the lowland sulky swamps for it!

This is beautiful, Todd, and so well said. We all just need a place to breathe, especially when we are teenagers. Your photos contain so many of the feelings I have about the Midwestern countryside.

Comment on Einstein at the Belvedere by Ann Turner Hickman

I came across your site as I was looking up the Belvedere. My great grandmother purchased the home in 1917 from Jesse Case and turned it into the Turner House – a boarding house. My grandfather related that he thought it dated to 1890 and that his mother put the wrap @ porch on it. My father spent summers there when he was young and in 1939 when Einstein wrote his letter it was still a boarding house. However my family believe that Einstein was staying at Old Grove Rd on Nassau Point when he wrote the letter. My dad remembers seeing him walking along the “Main Road” with his sister and possibly mailed the letter at the Richmond Store on that rd, which had a postal collection and was probably then picked up and passed through the PO on Peconic Lane. I would love to hear any other information you may have about Einstein’s stay since we do not have a record of his staying at my great grandmother’s boarding house.

Your photographs of the South Carolina Lowcountry, and particularly of Edisto Island, are breathtakingly beautiful. May I link to you on my blog: Charleston through a Artist’s Eye? Your pictures are paintings; so full of your heart.

Comment on Saint Meinrad Archabbey by Genesius Jaromsky

I am preparing a training booklet on the Beatitudes for my church prayer group. When I performed a Google search on Beatitudes & stained-glass, St. Meinrad came up. Does the Abbey have a stained-glass window for each of the 8 Beatitudes? If so, how can I acquire these for our booklet? These booklets will be given to the prayer group members at cost (no profit will be accepted or taken).

Thanks and God Bless,
Genesius

Do you have photos Where can I find pictures of your stained-glass windows of all 8 beatitudes?
