Winter Views of the Cornfield

Winter offers some extra special views of Antietam Battlefield. These photos taken the weekend of January 24th when I was volunteering at the Park, show different views of the Cornfield, mostly from points along Smoketown Road. What is often striking is the lay of the land. We often think of farm fields as very flat with no significant terrain features. Yet when you look at these photos, you can easily see the rolling nature of the land. One technical point...the photos appear to scroll quickly here. If you doubleclick on the slide show, you can watch them at your own pace. Also by doubleclicking, you can see a google map location where I actually took the shot.
