I love the ZOOOOOM that wide angles give to close ups. Those three flowers in the back were about 18 inches away from the flower in the foreground, but they look really far away. This is because a wide-angle lens exaggerates the perspective provided by distance.

An impressive building with an equally impressive history, including the murder of King Edward II in 1327.

Situated directly in front of the old Berkeley County Hospital in Moncks Corner, in a section dedicated to the memorial of Berkeley County veterans, an old grave stone stands. The sign accompanying it reads:
"When the South Carolina Public Service Authority was clearing the lands for the Santee Cooper Lakes, and removing buildings and other things man had erected during his two and a half centuries in Upper Berkeley, there were numerous small items of a semi-public nature that had to be disposed of.
Among these was the tombstone at the grave of a solider who appears to have died at the Forty-Five Mile House and been buried on the West Side of and near the Congaree River Road at a spot commonly called “Soljer Grave” by most residents of the cross section.
The marker bore the following inscription: “Thomas Picket, Fairfield District, who died the 14th day of March, 1814, age 19 years, 1 month, and 22 days on his return from Charleston where he had volunteered his services to meet his country foes.”
In May of 1940 the Authority and Post No. 126, The American Legion, covered the grave with a slab of concrete with the foot stone inserted in the concrete. The head with the above inscription was taken to Moncks Corner and has been in the care of Post No. 126, The American Legion."
