Through The Lens 133 – Gettysburg Clearing Storm
A storm clears over the Brigadier General Gouvernor Kemble Warren statue on Little Round Top, just in time for a beautiful sunset during Gettysburg’s 150th Anniversary back in 2013.
Through The Lens 103 – Antietam Memorial Illumination
Tomorrow (unless postponed by weather) is the 2017 edition of the Antietam Memorial Illumination. I won’t be attending this year as I have other commitments, but I highly recommend anyone in the area making the trip to Sharpsburg to drive through the Battlefield. The army of volunteers places one luminary on the battlefield for each casualty. Antietam remains our bloodiest day in war with 23,110 casualties, a number that isn’t fully understood until you see it represented in candles.

Through The Lens 97 – Gettysburg Fall Color
Fall color from a day trip to Gettysburg a couple of years ago. The purple wildflowers contrasted nicely with the reds and oranges of the fall foliage in the background.
Through The Lens 82 – Monocacy National Battlefield
14th New Jersey Monument at Sunrise on the 150th Anniversary. I managed to get a couple of photos early the morning of the anniversary before heading to work.
The 153rd anniversary on the Battle that Saved Washington is this coming Sunday.
Through The Lens 51 – Antietam Memorial Illumination
Every December on the first Saturday (unless postponed by weather) Antietam National Battlefield holds its annual Memorial Illumination. 23,110 luminaries are placed on the battlefield, one for each of the casualties. I managed to get a photography permit for this year’s illumination and I’m looking forward to photographing it again.
Through The Lens 49 – Fall Sunsets
This is my favorite time of year for sunsets in the Mid-Atlantic region. We get this wonderful orange glow at the horizon that makes for some great photos.
Through The Lens 40 – Antietam National Battlefield
Tomorrow is the 154th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam, so I thought a shot I took a couple of years ago of the 20th New York Monument would be appropriate.

Through The Lens 34 – Monocacy Battlefield
Since tomorrow is the 152nd Anniversary of the Battle of Monocacy, I thought I’d share one from the archives – Sunrise at the 14th New Jersey Regiment Monument taken on the morning of the 150th Anniversary, July 9th, 2014.
