The Ricky Tims Super Seminar in Frederick, Maryland is now over. The people were wonderful to meet and the volunteers were great! When the seminar was over and the trailer was packed, Justin took us to Gettysburg, where, in July 1863, one of the worst battles of the civil war was fought. Over a period of three days, there were a total of 51,000 casualties (dead, injured, missing).
Along with tour guides dressed in period clothes, we went on a night Ghost walk to areas of Gettysburg that were involved in the battles. One spot was near the cemetary. I (Capt'n John) used the same camera in the picture above and the picture below. It was taken in total darkness with a flash aimed at the forest near the cemetary. The photo is not retouched and I don't have any answer for what it shows.
On the walk, Ricky took pictures of the Witness Tree. This is a tree that President Lincoln touched with both hands and said that it was a witness to the events of the battle. It was during this visit that Abraham Lincoln would deliver one of the the most famous speeches in US history - 269 words in ten sentences - the Gettysburg Address. Ricky told us he saw future quilt designs in the picture below.
