This is not part of the pan, we're moving in. That's me and I'm over 6'1" if that matters.

Reminds me a bit of "Picnic at Hanging Rock" except for the trees.

Here you can see that monument atop LRT, again not that much higher than DD.
You can see the 91st PA monument center left

This shot from the stone wall west of DD, looking WNW. The approaches to both DD and LRT.

Originally posted here was something that was in part intended to satirize Mathew Brady. He was the famous photographer who after the battle (some days later) threw corpses on a wagon and carted them around the battlefield, posing them at different sites as though that was the way he found them. If you saw the collection of his photos, you couldn't help but notice that the same corpses kept showing up at different sites on the battlefield posed differently. In the photo I posted, I posed as one of Brady's "models". While my method might be described as satire, it was pointed out that it could be interpreted as disrespectful of the men who died there. A large part of the reason I posed thusly, and posted it here however was that I thought it was funny. It was not.



geofflambert -> RE: OT Bull Run & GB pics (7/27/2012 3:26:07 AM)

Actually, I'm sitting. NE from Devil's Den, the approaches.

Next, from Little Round Top and beyond.



tocaff -> RE: OT Bull Run & GB pics (7/27/2012 11:47:34 AM)

Good work!



geofflambert -> RE: OT Bull Run & GB pics (7/27/2012 8:55:39 PM)

Little Round Top
From atop LRT, a clockwise arc. In the first pic you can see at the extreme left the monument for the 44th NY. I was standing on a boulder in front of the 91st PA monument.

geofflambert -> RE: OT Bull Run & GB pics (7/27/2012 8:57:34 PM)

Here you can see Devil's Den on the right.

geofflambert -> RE: OT Bull Run & GB pics (7/27/2012 9:00:43 PM)

The obelisk you can see across the road is for the 6th NJ

geofflambert -> RE: OT Bull Run & GB pics (7/27/2012 9:04:50 PM)

In the distance on the left you can see the Warfield Ridge (or SW) tower. On top of the small hill on the right is what I believe is a marker for the 14th US Rgt.

geofflambert -> RE: OT Bull Run & GB pics (7/27/2012 9:10:14 PM)

In the distance on the right you can see the Vermont monument.
In the distance from right to left about 1/3 of the way across the pick, you can see Seminary Ridge. I believe I can just make out the top of the seminary in the middle of it.

geofflambert -> RE: OT Bull Run & GB pics (7/27/2012 9:13:30 PM)

At the extreme left of this pick you can see the Pennsylvania Monument, and behind it the Cyclorama. The statue in the foreground is for the 155th PA.

Next I'll be marching up the road to the "Angle"



geofflambert -> RE: OT Bull Run & GB pics (7/28/2012 3:29:24 AM)

Here is a sky view of the G Weikert farm. The red arrow points to the next camera shot.

Here's a view of the stone wall at G Weikert.

Here's a sky view of the road from LRT to the Angle.

This shot is looking south along Hancock Ave from 300 feet S of the PA monument.

That's the barn for the Codori Farm. It is not the original. I do not know if it is a facsimile of the original.

These are no ordinary old cows in the next two pics, they're re-enactor cows, a special breed apart.

Here is what represents the famous "copse of trees".
