Gettysburg is about 2 hours from where we live so we go there frequently. It is a beautiful place. Last Summer we went up in July for the reenactement. It was wonderful and highly recommendment. This is gorgeous. Excellent composition and colors, Jack. #8337202

Think I can hear thunder rumbling in the distance when I look at this, Jack - what an ominous, threatening sky. Perfect light to make those colors pop, tho, and they sure did! A beautiful rural capture of this historic location. #8337233
