Of course it's Gutzon Borglum's magnificent North Carolina State Monument on Seminary Ridge's West Confederate Drive, seen here in front-and-back views. (Today is a day looking much the same where I am.)

I'll see yours and raise you a State of Virginia.See yours, and raise you the nearby Confederate Monument by the same sculptor (obviously taken on the same rainy day):

I was on a tour bus like the one in the background of this image, at this very spot, and my greatest regret was that it didn't stop so we could appreciate the monuments located there. We stopped at Little Round Top, and the newer 'Peace' monument, but more than anything, I wanted to walk this ground. There's always next time.Since you posted North Carolina, I'll post Mississippi also at Gettysburg on West Confederate Ave. - Stone Sentinels
