I did a lot of driving in 2014. I took this photo in May. I hadn’t set out with any intentionality to see Gettysburg, but I saw signs and figured that while I was in the neighborhood I should stop by. So many adventures are like that. I remember that I’d come from Centralia or maybe I was on my way to Centralia. I’m not sure. I think the bright colors and barren landscape make for an interesting combination, especially given the grim history of the battlefield.
