Here we have a variety of colors and themes . . . gnarled old brown trunks, orange autumn leaves, ancient gray rocks, and green plant growth, the last vestiges of summer. This photo was taken from the very edge of Triangular Field and shows Rose Woods and the swell of Houck’s Ridge. At far center right is the base of the 124^TH New York Infantry monument, topped by Col. Ellis. The marker seen at the edge of the woods alongside Sickles Avenue commemorates the 2^ND Brigade of the 1^ST Division of the 3^RD Corps.
