A Nice Evening Surprise

Last weekend the battlefield had spurts of people coming in. The heat may have kept some away, but we had a good soaking rain shower and then the dust cleared away. The battlefield is devoid of lights except for cars, or flashlights or cameras, except of course when there is a full moon (it's most bright then). I remember looking at the weather channel and seeing that there was supposed to be a thunderstorm, but also there should have been a full moon. The darkness that followed after the storm made it difficult to see anything, as those of you who have been down in Devil's Den after dark know, but then all of a sudden, a slight light appeared over Little RoundTop...it was subtle at first, looking at it was hard on the eyes, but then the heavy cloud cover parted and there it was in all it's brightness...a full moon.

My friend and I grabbed the camera and she stuck it out the window of the car and there it is! That's the best "moon shot" that I've ever gotten...almost looks like an angry dragon watching over The Roundtops.
