This wooden statue of a Native American chief is a familiar sight for long-time visitors to Charles Towne Landing State Park in Charleston. Janelle Dawsey took the picture in January of 2007.

Janelle describes her photo for us: “I visited the newly renovated Charles Towne Landing State Park and snapped this picture of an Indian Chief statue located near the entrance to the animal forest. As a kid, this statue was one of my favorite things at the park. I couldn’t help but notice how time had weathered its appearance – it has aged just as I have. I thought I could get a dramatic effect by snapping the picture from the ground at an upward angle. The sky was also beautiful that day and made the perfect backdrop for the photo.”

Charles Towne Landing honors the site of the first European settlement in the Carolinas, dating back to 1670. The park underwent a full renovation and reopened to the public in August 2006.
