Gettysburg National Park

I headed to Gettysburg on the weekend of March 28-30th. It was a little early in the season but the weather was OK and the crowds were minimal. Early on the morning of the 29th, a lone soldier and General Meade guard the Union line along Cemetery Ridge, the sight of Picket's Charge on July 3, 1863.



As the sun began to rise, the light and shadows made for some interesting photos. In addition, I was using a Cokin IR filter to bring out the details and keep the sun from over powering the scene.

If you care a lick about American History, you must visit Gettysburg.
