Here are last few photos Bill and I took on the September 14 Photowalk in Gettysburg PA organized by Andy Smith of Visual Realia.
The route Andy developed took us through town to the campus on Gettysburg Colllege – and then on up to the campus of the Lutheran Theological Seminary – and back into town. We walked past historic buildings, parks, monuments and through everyday neighborhoods. It was great fun. It gave a chance to photograph everything from a cannon to yard decorations to items left on a front porch.
We saw signs for tours of the Ghosts of Gettysburg. Wonder if this is one of the ones on the tour?

Children’s toys left on the front porch take on a new look when Bill photographed them with his Graflex.

The different styles and the age of many of the house gave us some great photo opportunities. Here’s some detail in some of the railing on a front porch.

And of course – no visit to Gettysburg is complete without a photograph of a Civil War cannon. This one is located on the campus of the Lutheran Theological Seminary.
