Saturday Photo Hunt...Cobblestone Road

Saturday, September 02, 2006

Becky's Feet on Savannah cobblestone
Originally uploaded by Momma B.

My daughter likes to take pictures of her feet....but in this case the cobblestone streets are very unusual and very hard to walk on. Savannah is a port city and the ships carried cobblestones to balance the ships. They replaced the stones with cotton and other goods and the city fathers used the stones to make streets and roads.

Sounds beautiful, is it a road that can also be driven on or just walked upon?

Where my in-laws live, part of the street down town is bricked. Recently they spent $$$ to redo it & the city was hoping they'd just pave it; but nope; more bricks. It's not a fun street to drive down.

I played for the first time this week too. :-)

Great shot. Very artistic.

I lived outside Savannah...well, really an hour away but in the boonies back in the 80's. It is a beautiful town.

Mine's up.

Very nice picture. Cobblestone streets look so lovely but just are not fun to drive on or walk. Maybe I am just getting old...

Take care,
Connie

This kind of roads makes it cool. Of course it would be difficult to be walking when wearing heels.
