Location	City - Gettysburg State - PA Country - United States
About	It is very easy to get a nice or good or pretty shot at places where grand things have transpired. This is a memorial at Gettysburg battlefield, Gettysburg, PA (Pennsylvania) The ground is holy, sanctified in American myth and legend. Gettysburg to Yanks is equivalent to the fields at Bosworth… or where the Japanese samurai stood in awe looking at the Mongol hordes afloat just off the shore in the late 1200’s… and the Kamikaze plowed through to save Nippon. Gettysburg is even equal to the great fence in OZ that keeps rabbits out… legendary I tells ya… But that is not what I want to show here. To be a really good/gifted photographer… we must not only use our eyes but our brain as well. I was not going to take this shot… I was passing by… then I saw… the first step, corner right. And I thought, “Hmmm… nice they thought enough about this place to not smoke while in. Interesting they thought so little of the place to toss the half-smoked cigarette down on the doorstep.” That was my one and only thought as I took this. People passing through, understanding the horror and terror of Gettysburg… folks not immune to the wonder and gallantry… the hair-raising and blood rushing grandeur of the battlefield… thinking enough to toss the smoke aside… and not thinking or careing about where it landed. Ain’t human beings wonderfully strange creatures?????
