Night of a Thousand Candles: Brookgreen Gardens. Murrels Inlet SC
Not far from the neon, beachwear stores, and hundreds of mini-golf courses in the Myrtle Beach SC area is a hidden gem. Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park. Brookgreen is an outdoor sculpture garden and the legacy of Anna Hyatt Huntington [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Hyatt_Huntington]. I have visited it hundreds (if not thousands) of times over the years. It is a wonderful site to enjoy sculpture & nature.
Each December Brookgreen hosts "Night of a Thousand Candles". Equipped with an early Christmas present to myself(Canon S90), I attended this event for the first time. Here are a couple of results.
Enjoy

Wow - who knew there could be culture in Myrtle Beach? I spent a weekend there once in college, but I don't remember much of it. I like these a lot. Looks like a great place for a camera and tripod.

The composition in the first one is outstanding.

The second shot might need to be reloaded. It's pixeled out. Looks very nice I think.

I like the first one the best.
On the second, it looks like you forgot to resize before uploading. From personal experience, have the photo the correct size before uploading (it'll upload faster too)

I like both of them. Second one is fine on my computer. I can't pick a favorite on these 2. Nice shooting.
