Monday was the shortest day of the year and hard to believe the days start getting longer now. For now, winter in all its might holds us in its grip. A record December snowfall blankets our area. All is still and quiet. At the battlefield on Monday, there were very few visitors. Rangers Mannie, Brian, and Gordie were at the Visitor's Center and Christie was at the Mumma Farm when I stopped by to snap some pictures.
More snow than has ever fallen in December covers us. It muffles the sounds and there is a stillness around the battlefield as much caused by the snowfall as it is by the lack of visitors
I was by the battlefield on Monday to capture some of the winter images and take advantage of the pale light that bathed the area today. Enjoy these photos, some of easily recognizable locations, and others of not so familiar places on some of the most sacred soil to be found in our land.
And while I am thinking of it, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

ReplyDeleteReally excellent photos, Jim.
ReplyDeleteJim,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful photos of "our" battlefield. They are so enjoyable with most sites being recognized. But you do slip in a few that are unique. Again, thanks for keeping updated those of us who can only rarely get to the battlefield.
