We spent the day at Gettysburg. It was our first time and we enjoyed a day-long guided tour. After dinner, the lure of sunset was too hard to resist. This monument, overlooking the the valley of Pickett's charge, represents Union soldiers using their rifles as clubs after running out of bullets. Gettysburg is an awesome place and so glad we came.

Very good picture. Excellent lighting and composition. Powerful theme, too.

(As a Civil War buff, I've been to Gettysburg many times. It never fails to sadden me very deeply to remember that so much carnage happened in such a beautiful place.)
