As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I was down in Vicksburg, Mississippi for a few days on business. As most of you know, I very rarely post non-animal photos, but… when in Vicksburg. This was taken from a place called Battery DeGolyer (named after a Union captain) and that monument in the background is the Louisiana Memorial. The park contains over 1300 monuments, plaques, statues and other works of art commemorating what many consider the most important battle of the Civil War. The cannons at Battery DeGolyer are lined up much as they were back in the spring of 1863. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 17-35mm (at 19mm) ISO 200, f/22, various shutter speeds (HDR image combining five exposures)
it okay to post other things, in my my hobbie, i take pic. of ever thing, some times i get tired of just one thing so mix them up. keeping sending and taking great pic.
Beautiful wide-angle capture, composition and post processing! You’re a seasoned photographer. I’m sure any non-animal subject you shoot will be of the same high quality. Glad you posted this!

Beautiful colors & composition!
Never thought a cannon could look so beautiful.
Oh no! Don’t tell me your switching from Nikon to cannon!
Never Don. Well, unless they want to sponsor me or something. Until then all my cannons will be with Nikons.
Just bought a D800–it’s on the way. Now I get to have fun picking lenses.
What an appropriate post for Memorial Day which originated to honor soldiers on both sides of the Civil War. Thanks Sean.
Real nice HDR composite! Looks natural.
