Very nicely done, Michael and beautifully enhanced with the "Sepia" rendering. I speaks volumes in it silence, lovely!!!! :D

A wonderful composition. Those amazing trees give an abstract look that's very appealing.
Michael Mazaika replied:
Thank you, Sharon. I suppose you’re right. I’ve been visiting Gettysburg for over 50 years and have had the privilege of walking the ground at many other battlefields (images still to be digitized). Covered bridges has become my next big project. I guess it can be chalked up to a love of history. In any case, I’m glad you enjoyed these shots and hope you stop by from time to time to visit these ongoing series. Be well. - Mike

Michael Mazaika replied:
Sometimes I think, no I know, that the Good Lord sets the scene and I just show up with my camera gear. I’m glad you liked this presentation, Rick. - Mike

Very nice photograph and treatment of this historic artillery, Michael - l/f
Michael Mazaika replied:
Thanks, Phil. What struck me about this particular scene is the warm feeling of being “protected” by the surrounding branches, only to see the impending doom that the artillery battery could also bring. I’m glad you liked this shot - Mike
