From 1785 to 1865, Somerset Place was one of the south's largest plantations. Today, seven original buildings remain, including the plantation home. Pictured above is the plantation hospital on the left, and a reconstructed slave cabin on the right.
A light rain was falling when we arrived at the site, and I photographed in the rain until I was too soggy to carry on. The winter light in the late afternoon was soft and the colors were enhanced by the rain. We were the only visitors and in the quiet and the rain, the nineteenth century seemed closer than the twenty-first.
