Words of Comfort

Uploaded: November 01, 2010 11:12:49

Description

F/5.6, 1/250 sec., ISO-400, 90mm focal length, 18-200mm lens, touch of buzz

This is a shot of a 1863 Bible that a reenactor at a local reenactment shared with me. I am sure this Bible was read during this time to comfort a lot of tears that was shed during this terrible time of history.

member since: 10/3/2008 Absolutely incredible RJ what an exciting find and you have captured it so well. Yes, I am sure it has comforted many and can still do the same today.

Being alone in the ghost town was the ultimate experience of ghost town hunting. It was our last town. I would be disappointed to go to another after leaving Bannack
