While traveling home we stopped at Vicksburg, Mississippi to tour the Vicksburg National Military Park. It is a beautiful place. It is so peaceful now with all its monuments.
There are several grand monuments. Some are quite small but none the less important to the men who fought here. The skies behind them went from partly sunny to cloudy.
Sort of like my thoughts.
Being here were such a siege took place during the Civil War gave me a sobering reflection. Just thinking about the lives lost for such seemingly precious property. Thinking that wars will never stop being fought. SAD.
I could almost hear the soldiers shouting at one another so close in battle yet so far apart in thought.
For more skywatching you can go
