The
gang’s all here: beautifully contrasting colors, a perfect summer sky, rock
walls, wooden fences, a picturesque tree, and the sacred ground of the
Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble Charge. (Oh, and Hancock Avenue, but there’s nothing
particular special about that). I always consider myself extremely lucky when
my photos have such a great sky to work with. (And it’s rather rare for me!)
It’s fairly easy to imagine thousands of Southern soldiers marching slowly but
steadily through the fields, though of course the modern scene is much safer,
much more peaceful. Still, war or peace, this must have been a stunning bit of
countryside.
