Fog
and Sun
With
just a little imagination, you can see how the battlefield must have looked
when it was wreathed in smoke beneath a hot summer sun. This photograph was taken near
the Mississippi and Louisiana State Memorials along Confederate Avenue, a place
that at the time was surprisingly quiet. Walking in the fog in Gettysburg is an
experience I highly recommend. It’s easier to contemplate the past, and to
feel as if you’re somehow closer to the many men who lost their lives on these very
fields.
