Walking Dakota

I have been frequenting this new park in North Charleston visiting when I am in town. Smack in the middle of the Old Naval Shipping Yard, it provides the perfect escape from noises of the city. On my most recent trip I took my dog with me to walk, an explore. Public Art is juxtaposed with the old industrial surroundings. It is a real slice of heaven in what is otherwise a less than desirable area. In one moment your breathing in air fresh from the river an in the next your view is being dominated by an enormous tanker. Even the bathrooms are artfully designed, the concrete slab appears as a wall slicing into the kelly green mound that quietly engulfes it only to revel a smooth monolithic structure once you stroll around it. Procession is so improtant here, it allows you the chance to just breath deep and ponder.
