Georgia - Savannah

We are getting deep into the history and beauty of the South. We are not going to write about the Civil War - the Internet provides all the information. We are concentrating on the beauty of the cultivated nature and architecture of the citise. Today Savannah - a city of azalias, dogwood trees and oaks adorned with the Spanish moss. 

'The Spanish moss is a very well known plant (Tillandsia sneoides) - a rootless epiphit which can even grow on telephone wires. It is used in tapistry and as a decorative plant.'

Even at daytime it gives a spooky impression, but at night when ghost walks are organized, it's really frightening.  

We are visiting gardens squares whicga are plentiful in Savannah, and each one is different with its size, form, and function. Kazimierz Pulawski has his square.

'Casimir Pulaski, or Kazimierz Pułaski in Polish (Polish pronunciation: [kaʑiˈmʲɛʂ puˈwaski]; full name in Polish: Kazimierz Michał Wacław Wiktor Pułaski) of Ślepowron coat-of-arms (March 6, 1745[1] – October 11, 1779), was a Polish soldier, nobleman, and politician who has been called "the father of American cavalry". A member of the Polish landed nobility, Pulaski was a military commander for the Bar Confederation and fought against Russian domination of the Polish–Lithuanian 

Commonwealth. When this uprising failed, he emigrated to North America as a soldier of  fortune. During the American Revolutionary War, he saved the life of George Washington[4] and became a general in the Continental Army. He died of wounds suffered in the Battle of Savannah. Pulaski is one of only seven people to be awarded honorary United States citizenship.'
