DailyPhoto for Wednesday, April 24, 2013

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!
