Early Autumn View from Little Round Top




The view from Little Round Top in Gettysburg was awesome. It's starting to look a lot like Fall from up there. There's the Cordori Barn over on Emmittsbug Pike, in the middle of Picket's Charge. And there's is the Pennsylvania Monument . Surrounded by many others, like the Minnesota Monument just to PA's right. And finally there is Devil's Den. It looks so much bigger when your down there amongst the rocks.

Cadillac Motel


Cadillac Motel, 5342 Ferry Street, Niagara Falls, Ontario. This has got to be from the mid-fifties. Too bad the neon doesn't work any more. Still an awesome sign.
