Taking the pictures at dusk really adds to the somberness of Gettysburg. Beautiful!

Thanks for the note, Marilyn! I agree. The low light really added to the drama of that setting.

If you are going to Gettysberg, I highly recommend also seeing the Anteitam battlefield. It is about an hour's drive away, and well worth the trip. I would probably do Anteitam first as it the battle there was about a year earlier in the war.
