Sunset on Confederate Ave at Gettysburg

[CSA Today]

This is really nice!

If you want to see an almost poetic sunset, imagine the sun going down outside of the Confederate and/or Union cemetery at Vicksburg on July 4th. Gave me the fuzzies.

Gettysburg was the sunset of the whole rebel cause.

You can usually get awesome sun sets from L R T top to the angle...It's one of our destinations in the evening.....

Beautiful photo! What a great place to visit. Gettysburg is also a great place to be at sunset. I have sat at sunset at the Angle before and just reflected on what happened there. It's amazing.

The 12-pounder howitzer in CSA Today's photo is the oldest tube currently on display on the Gettysburg Battlefield. It was cast in 1837!

It's pretty much directly across West Confederate Avenue from the Eisenhower/Longstreet tower.

Ooo, that makes me feel good--based on the background, I pretty much nailed the location.

Knew that was a howitzer and was just thinking about looking details about it when I read your post. Thanks you much

Looking in the direction of the confederate retreat from Gettysburg.

Yes, and then Grant coming East sealed the deal.

Great photo, it may win photo of the year!
As for the literal sunset on the Confederacy, that debate will never cease. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

That's just a stunning photo- makes me more resolved than ever to just bag some of the busy stuff and GO, soon. Thanks for posting.
