Maryland Monday

Last Friday Ninon and I went for a drive to Sheperdstown, WV, Sharpsburg, MD, and The Antietam Battlefield with my sister and her husband.


The setting sun over Antietam
Once a year a horde of volunteers gather together to create an unforgettable landscape in the Antietam Battlefield by setting up 23,000 luminaries: one luminary for each casualty of the bloodiest day of fighting during the civil war.  

It will take place this Saturday, December 7, 2013.

Three years ago I went with Ninon. It was difficult to get pictures with a point and shoot camera, but here are some of the pictures we took that night.

It is quite the experience! Be sure to pack your patience! It's a long, long line!
