Civil War- the South

Taken for "Themes & Challenges: history week".

 

I tried capturing this statue last week for "Statues/Monuments" week, but I had my nifty fifty with me, and I couldn't frame this statue well without standing in the street. Managed to come back to it yesterday with my 35mm, but found the bright midafternoon sun to pose a challenge. Ah well, it is what it is; two attempts is likely all I'll manage. Maybe someday if I have my camera at work with this lens on an overcast day I'll try again.

 

This statue constantly reminds me that Maryland was officially a Southern state during the Civil War. It shows two Southern generals, Gen. R. E. Lee and Gen. Stonewall Jackson.
