Just some patriotic pictures...

I was in Maryland last week, visiting a friend. We had a lot of fun, and I took about 300 pictures. Here are eight patriotic pictures I took in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
*For 'inside of a canon', I stuck my lens in the canon mouth, turned up the f-stop, and switched it to manual focus because auto didn't want to work.

A fitting patriotic post. Good shots all around.

DrZ - nice tribute to a sad time in our history. Good eye in spotting some of these things. The canon rifling is interesting, not a view I'd want to have. I picture some guy poking his head in there trying to figure out why it's not working right, only to find that it is. The gravestones make a nice shot and I like the silence sign.

Great shots for the holiday and eagle for the challenge. The cannon barrel pic works ok as an abstract. It would have been interesting if you had tried some different things with it.

Dub- I have a picture of me and my friend staring into the mouth of the same canon... the whole time we were doing that I couldn't help but imagine what it would feel like to take a canon ball to the face :(
Thanks everyone for your very nice comments :D You're making me feel good :)
Gdwsr- It would have been cool to try different things, but we were just passing thru and I didn't have time to do much.
