I stumbled across this image taken about 10 years ago with a Kodak DC 3200 2 megapixel point and shoot. I know the quality is not great, but I wanted to bring out a blast from the past. This is a Confederate grave site located about 15 miles from my house. It originally started out with only 7 graves that were marked with rocks. After further investigations, all of these sites were found. The only way I could even make it look presentable was to do it in sepia with a touch of infrared. I hope you all enjoy. and thanks in advance for any comments it might receive. Anyone willing to play with the original or this image is more than welcome to.

Real cool picture. The way you have tried to make it look better gave it a bit of an old time feal. Real intersting. I am ok with the sepia and infrared. Looks fine to me. Great job.

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one enjoys it? Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAÏVE . If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed? What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?

This is really good Paul. I wouldn't change a thing. I faved this. I like how the trees have grown since they were buried. What a frightful time in our history. Thanks for posting this. It is haunting.

I have a really old shot of Arlington, but it's not as good as this picture. I love the angle. Very nice Paul.
