Bright Spring Day

A shot standing on the east moat bridge looking through the fort walls at Fort Monroe.  The house that can be seen through the entrance was the one President Abraham Lincoln stayed in in 1862 when he helped plan the invasion and capture of the  rebel-held city of Norfolk, Virginia during the Civil War. 

Ironically, when the South was defeated in 1865, this was the same bridge and entrance used to escort captured  Confederacy President Jefferson Davis to his  two year long imprisonment  within the walls of fort.

My shot of this historic  house here: http://www.bayislandphotography.com/Photography/Other-Versions/15989682_8N4DB2#!i=2474717323&k=NR6D8PG

Thanks for all the great comments on Patti's and my shots and for taking the time to  share  your always interesting images with us.

Have a great day!
Spring comes to all places.

Fort Monroe Pet Cemetery

DailyPhoto for Wednesday, April 17, 2013

Behind the moat and  imposing stone walls of Fort  Monroe is a scene that many visitors may not notice.  Over the many years of the history of the Fort, many military families have come and gone. Many   had pets and some of these beloved pets found their final resting place high up on the earthen ramparts of the Fort, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. This is a 21 shot blended collage (Microsoft AutoCollage) of some of my favorites from my recent visit  there. I particularly like 'Red Jackson - Special Cat' :-)

Thanks for the nice comments on my "Shadow Fortress' shot yesterday. Much appreciated.

Have a great day!-  Dan
