A Stroll Through Devil's Den

[James N.]

Here are some photos taken by Bradley Garnett using his father's camera/phone at Gettysburg's Devil's Den during our visit there this April. Fortunately (?), he had taken a course in creative photography and decided to experiment, giving us these somewhat "unusual" views; above, one of the few "conventional" shots.

Above and below, Plum Run from the parking lot.

Finally, into and through the rocks.

Every time I see pictures of Devil's Den, I'm reminded about the scene in "Gettysburg" where Longstreet comes to see Hood after he was wounded. "Worse ground I ever saw."

Beautiful shots! Looking forward to seeing the place myself next year.

I wouldn't have wanted to be inside Devil's Den with the enemy on top shooting down.

Pink Panther rock. I like rocks

I think they're very nice photos.

@Bee , well you should be smitten with PA! Rocks R Us in this state, no?

Thanks James. Your friend is a wonderful photographer although good shots always flatten me because I'm terrible at it. These remind me how a relief worker spoke of men buried there. Those crevices? Fallen men couldn't be gotten out, burial parties forced to cover them with earth where they fell. Hope they were finally exhumed, haven't been able to find anything.

I took the sniper's nest from the opposite side.

Thanks, James N., for the photos. I totally enjoyed them! I was once again reminded that there are LOTS of rocks in Devil's Den.

When visiting Gettysburg I always have my morning coffee here . Usually alone early in the morning , listening to the mockingbirds .

These are magnificent photos!!! I cannot believe they were taken with a phone and exhibited such crystal clear quality. The weather was also very cooperative with a beautiful sky. Thanks for sharing them. David.

Rock On James N.!!!

Today's phones have excellent cameras.

James, you take great photos. Thanks for sharing.

No, remember these were taken by Bradley Garnett, 26-year-old son of Doug Garnett (@1863surgeon here on the forums), though it turns out that both the first and last pictured (overall view of Devil's Den and the Sniper's Nest) were taken by Doug himself from the window of his truck.

Pink Panther rock. I like rocks

Bee, just WHY is this called that - and by whom???

Bee, just WHY is this called that - and by whom???

It is shaped like the head of the cartoon character of Pink Panther (a cartoonish panther head -- complete with grin and nose)

I learned this from @Gettysburg Greg . Can you help me out, Greg, and show the traced out picture of the head that you once posted?

Interesting formations to say the least. Nature is amazing!!!
