This cannon stands close to its original position during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. Note the crowd in the background. They are watching a Rugby game between Gettysburg College and Susquehanna University. I wonder if those who witnessed the carnage of the battle could ever envision a friendly sports competition taking place on the same field one and a half centuries later?

Don't ask me...I don't know what species he/she is. I took this at the zoo. The bird was pretty much white and shades of gray...no color whatsoever. I figured, why not see what the whole scene looks like in b&w. To my surprise, I was able to get MUCH more feather detail than I could in color. I had never experienced that before.

I miss the days when these were the cabs you would hail on the streets of NYC. They were painted yellow, of course, but otherwise, this was what you got. Comfy back seats, including two pull up seats so you could comfortably fit four in the cab. They had English speaking drivers too. I'm showing my age.
