Description of Subject Matter: Part of the Third Battle of Winchester, this cemetery contains the remains of over 3,000 Confederate soldiers killed in nearby battles. Some of the Civil War notables buried here are the Ashby brothers (General Turner Ashby and Captain Richard Ashby) and the Patton brothers (George and Tazewell Patton, grandfather and grand-uncle of WWII General George Patton).

2006 photos: Trips this year: Florida (two separate trips including Lotusphere and taking care of mom), three weeks out west (including Yellowstone), Williamsburg, San Diego (comic book convention), and Georgia. Equipment this year: I was using all six Fuji cameras at various times -- an S602Zoom, two S7000s,a S5200, an S9000, and an S9100. The majority of pictures this year were taken with the S9000. I have to say, the S7000s was the best camera I've used up to this point.. Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
