Mississippi Monument
Mississippi sent over 4,900 men to Gettysburg, with almost 1,500 becoming casualties. It was the fifth largest contingent from the twelve Confederate State at Gettysburg and the fifth highest casualty total.
The monument stands where General Barksdale’s Mississippi Brigade began their charge into the Peach Orchard on July 2nd. It represents the desperate hand-to-hand fighting of that day. The color-bearer has fallen mortally wounded and his comrade steps over his body, using his clubbed musket to defend the fallen flag.
From the monument:
Mississippi
July 1st 2nd 3rd 1863
On this ground our brave sires fought for their righteous cause; In glory they sleep who give to it their lives
To valor, they gave new dimensions of courage
To duty its noblest fulfillment
To posterity, the sacred heritage of honor.

Virginia contributed over 19,000 men to the Army of Northern Virginia at Gettysburg, the largest contingent from the twelve Confederate states. Almost 4,500 of these – almost 1 out of 4 – became casualties, the second highest state total.
The monument stands 41 feet high, with the statue of Lee and Traveler standing 14 feet high. It is the largest of the Confederate monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield, a fitting tribute to the state that provided the largest contingent to the Army of Northern Virginia, its commander, and its name. Lee’s figure, stands atop the monument astride his favorite horse, Traveler. The statue was created by sculptor Frederick Sievers from photographs and life masks of the general. Sievers even went to Lexington, Virginia to study Traveler’s skeleton, preserved at Washington and Lee University. The total cost of the monument was $50,000.
Below Lee as he studies the distant Union lines are seven Confederate soldiers. According to the marker at the base of the monument:
The group represents various types who left civil occupations to join the Confederate Army. Left to right; a professional man, a mechanic, an artist, a boy, a business man, a farmer, a youth.
My submission for the Macro Mondays "Outer Space" theme. I created a miniature cosmic scene using vintage postage stamps from my collection.
The composition highlights iconic milestones of space exploration: the 25th anniversary of the first artificial Earth satellite (Sputnik), the Venera (Venus) 13 and 14 probes, and the joint Soviet-French space mission visible in the background.
To bring this paper universe to life, I used a gobo mask featuring a moon and stars to cast a dramatic, contrasting beam of light across the stamps. Due to the shallow depth of field, the final image is a focus stack of four separate exposures.
Technical note: Captured using Meike extension tubes with the kit lens (my dedicated Sony 90mm Macro arrives tomorrow morning!).
PALACIO REAL DE STO. NIÑO HOTEL, MALOLOS, BULACAN
(excerpt from spot.ph)
Originally a settlement for rich Spanish and Chinese immigrants during the 19th century, the Kamestisuhan district is teeming with Art Deco-inspired and bahay-na-bato homes that were the norm during that period. Also, this two-story home has been around since 1904. It was originally the family home of Hermogenes San Agustin Reyes and Teodora Tiongson Tantoco, members of two of Malolos' wealthiest and most influential families (and they are closely related to several members of the "Women of Malolos," a group of women from the community who, in 1888, petitioned the Governor-General for permission to open a night school where they could learn Spanish.) It was intended to be demolished but Malolos City Vice Mayor Migs Bautista, the current owner and operator of the property and hotel, saved the property and transformed into a hotel.
