Description of Subject Matter: The Illumination is an event that Antietam puts on one night every winter. They put one lighted candle out for every soldier killed or wounded on the battlefield -- 23,000 in total. You drive through with your headlights off and just watch the magnitude of the scene. This is tougher with the new cars because they always have parking lights on as long as the car is on. Some people came prepared with black sheets of paper that they taped on their headlights.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2001 photos: Image quality is going to be pretty bad because these are scans of negatives and prints. They were usually taken on a Pentax ME-Super. This was the year of 9/11 and many of the places that had been commonplace to visit beforehand suddenly became a pain in the neck or not available at all. I took a two-week trip right before 9/11 in New England and then took a one-week trip afterward to North Carolina.
