On July, 3, 1863, the armies of the Union and the Confederacy were engaged in battle at Gettysburgh, PA. The strategic goal of the rebel forces was to push eastward in order to surround Washington, DC, and cut off the capital from the rest of the Union.
Major General George Pickett was in command of the Confederate forces attack against the center of the Union Army. The rebels crossed the field in this photo under fierce artillery fire and briefly overran the Union line, but were beaten back. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the Confederates were devastated and withdrew to the south.
This spot is known as the high water mark of the Confederacy. Never again would the North be so profoundly threatened by Southern forces. On the same day, the Union Army prevailed at Vicksburg, MS, far to the west, and the South was fully engaged on two fronts.

Rockwall Lake is as big as beautiful. When I was walking to the lake from the parking lot, I felt like I was in Cancun for a second. I guess because of the colors. Texas is an amazing place to see.

CSXT 4751 makes an unusual appearance on Union Pacific rails as it rounds the curve into Eureka, Missouri, leading GSXBBD-15. Flying west across the UP Jefferson City Subdivision, it wouldn’t take long for the grainer to reach Jefferson City. (Peep the original small letter nose door)

Long exposure using the following test rig: Sony A7Rii with Nikkor 16-35 f4 and Fotodiox Adapter with Nisi V5-Pro 100mm filter holder and Nisi 10stop ND1000 Nano IR ND filter. There was a hard wind and it resulted in some reduced sharpness when pixel peeping at 100%. I tried holding down the tripod and then rain suddenly started and I had to run for shelter fast!
After I drove home, soaking wet, the sun came out and the clouds broke and light was perfect, except I wasn't there anymore :)

I haven't built anything in 2 and a half years, so it's a good feeling to pick up the bricks again. Hopefully this summer I might actually have some time, but who knows. Real life sucks y'all :/
Anyway, my photo-editing skills are still terrible and my camera is now six years old. About time for an upgrade I suppose. Here's the actual MOC description:

Respect the Crown!
W933 on a Pichi Richi Railway special from Quorn too Woolshed Flat rounds the rockwall embankment on 26-4-1997
Long exposure using the following test rig: Sony A7Rii with Nikkor 16-35 f4 and Fotodiox Adapter with Nisi V5-Pro 100mm filter holder and Nisi 10stop ND1000 Nano IR ND filter. There is a pool to the left and right of the path but the long exposure didn't really create the effect I was after. Still a good learning experience and great fun!
A view of Rockwall ridge from Numa Pass. This is my very first time doing Rockwall, I was a bit disappointed to see so many larges stripped off their golden needles, but hey, at least we got quite a good weather! Enjoy!

I enjoy photography as it gives me a wonderful reason to explore places. I often discover interesting locations by chance and only learn about these special places after I photograph them and can do some investigation and research. Sometimes, the significance or purpose of these places remain a mystery.
I'm not sure what this concrete object is, but it lies half submerged within the confines of ancient Pāhonu (turtle enclosure). A military pillbox? Lifeguard stand? If anyone knows for sure, please comment.
This photograph is from a body of work, Pinholes makai.
