Sunset at The Angle

[James N.]

The Angle in the Stone Wall.

These were taken just over a month ago around the middle of August late in the day when few visitors were still around and the slanting light from the setting sun nicely illuminated the Federal guns, statues, and monuments on Cemetery Ridge near the Angle and the High-Water Mark.

Statues of Brig. Gen. Alex. Webb and Maj. Gen. George G. Meade.

Above and Below, Federal guns at the Stone Wall overlooking the field of Pickett's Charge.

The Codori Farmhouse and Barn are in middle distance with the Angle at right; the low stone marker in the foreground is a North Carolina regimental marker showing their "high tide" in front of the Stone Wall.

Alonzo Cushing's Battery

Monument to the 72d Pennsylvania, repaired after its misfortune of last year, with monument to the U. S. Regulars and the Pennsylvania Memorial in the distance to the left.

Pennsylvania Cavalry Monument

The High-Water Mark Monument at the legendary Clump of Trees.

I've never been to the angle, nor to Gettysburg, nor even within the borders of Pennsylvania, but I still enjoyed seeing your photos. They are very well done. Thanks for showing them to us.

I love the park at sunset. There are few visitors and it is serene and peaceful. It is a good time to thing about the losses and the death that happened here.

Thank you all for your kind comments!

Here's a closer look at some of the statues:

And more artillery:

And a slightly different view of the Angle:

A bunch of great shots. Thanks for sharing them with us!

I decided on this one instead, though not as many appreciated it as I thought would:

I really liked this picture, James N. It is just that there were so many wonderful pictures this month that it was really hard to choose. It really is amazing, so please don't feel discouraged.

I'd like to go at sunrise sometime, but my sis, with whom I travel, thinks that there is only one 6:00 in each day!

I find that early morning works best for many of the Confederate monuments.

Well done. Very thoughtful.

Wonderful photos James, you have a good eye.

Great pics. I really need to pay a pilgrimage to Gettysburg at some point in my life.

An anniversary *BUMP* for one of my favorite places! (These photos are from my visit this April.)
