I have not made it through as many of the Civil War sites that I would have liked to. However, I was able to make it by Kennesaw Mountain once again a few weeks ago. I made the trek to the top of the mountain with my Super Trooper little one and …Continue Reading Here…
Anyone who knows me, knows that I like guns. Almost as much as cameras. Most people think that, in most things, that bigger is better. I guess that applied during the civil war also. Why take to the field of battle with a small muzzle loading rifle …Continue Reading Here…
This is another one for my Silent Guns of the South series. I went to Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park a few weeks ago. I took my youngest child and we actually got there before the visitor center opened. I began talking to her about …Continue Reading Here…
Are you on Pintrest? That seems to be the new cool fad for this week on the net. I must confess, I have not drunk the CoolAid (I wonder how many remember what that is?) and have never used pintrest. However, my wife is completely hooked and spends a fair amount of time pinning and re-pinning, I think that is right, everything she can find. So, having said all that, I ran across a comment where one of my photos showed up on pintrest. The original is the Freer Gallery of Art.
I took this photo just outside the visitor center for the Chickamauga National Battlefield Park, or you can just read the wall to find out. Anyway, it was very rainy and had a good bit of cloud cover, but it was some of the most wired formations I have seen. I was trying for a little better self portrait in the window, but did not want to get so close that I missed the cannon.
I went to Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta this past weekend. I got lots of shots, but, did not have as much time as I really wanted. Next time, I will try to fit it in a little better. I hope to get a couple of them processed soon to share.
This is another shot from the Silent Guns of the South. I took this just down the road from the visitors center at Chickamauga National Battlefield Park. I can almost feel the eyes of the soldiers just inside that wood line. It was …Continue Reading Here…
I had the pleasure of spending a few hours at the Manassas Battlefield Park. I spent time on Henry Hill and then went to the stone house. In our times of excess and overabundance, it is hard to believe only 150 years ago, your average american Continue Reading Here…
Chickamauga Battlefield has to be one of the most interesting I have visited. It is also one of the oldest of the National Battlefield Parks. As I walked around, there were markers for where certain units were at given points …Continue Reading Here…
Happy New Year!!! I can’t wait to see what new and exciting things 2012 will bring. Don’t forget to make it your New Years resolution to check here everyday for the photo of the day and I will make it mine to keep the work coming.
Our visit was cold, cloudy and altogether interesting. The clouds during the drive to the battlefield were great and luckily for me, they remained fabulously photogenic. When you explore Chickamauga National Battlefield, you see …Continue Reading Here…
Today (Tuesday) was lots of fun. A dramatic trip to Chickamauga National Battlefield Park (a continuation of the “Silent Guns of the South” series) and the Tennessee Aquarium. I did the unthinkable at the aquarium though…I left the camera in the car.
I was driving down the road which passes through the center of Chickamauga National Battlefield when I saw this line of cannons at the edge of a field. The cannon were not pointed into the field like …Continue Reading Here…
I think Thanksgiving is a purely American holiday. If I am mistaken, please correct me. So, today starts the beginning of the holiday season. Lots of football (not the soccer type), food and festivities. So, for anyone celebrating Thanksgiving today…Happy Thanksgiving. To those not celebrating Thanksgiving…cook a turkey and call it thanksgiving.
This is another photo in my “Silent Guns of the South” series. I have always been a student of history. There is so …Continue Reading Here…
