Antietam

I had the opportunity to go to Antietam this weekend.
Antietam, located in Sharpsburg, Maryland,  is where one of the most famous Civil War battles took place. Matter of fact, the battles of Antietam was -- and is -- the bloodiest casualty loss in one day on American Soil. There were 23,000 casualties!

It was beautiful and humbling to be there, and I think the pictures turned out quite well.
