SC Picture of the Month

Last month we looked at South Carolina "from the mountains to the sea," and this month we are celebrating the Midlands. This vibrant fountain is in Finlay Park, which is located in downtown Columbia. The park is an oasis of fun during the dog days of summer.

Located in the historic Vista, the park is a popular place for summer concerts and family fun. It also has playgrounds, waterfalls, playing fields, and a scenic view of the Columbia skyline.

Wilson Jumper of West Columbia took this lovely picture in July 2008.
