The light would give the impression of early morning or late afternoon, but I'd go with morning light. Still.... And Bing maps isn't clear to this degree of zoom and focus.

| | Re: Here we go again, again! - Mystery Photo Thread 2 | | Posted on: 3/5/2010 11:59:46 AM | It is not on the western side. There were actually 2 clues in my last post; if you read it again, you might find it. I will check back in later and offer another clue.
This is fun! (That's my wife speaking.)

I think I see your 2 clues, plus the fact that it's not on the western side. Now to put them all together.......

| | Re: Here we go again, again! - Mystery Photo Thread 2 | | Posted on: 3/5/2010 6:13:53 PM | So Ironic refers to the Iron Brigade, and first post refers to the First Day, so I am guessing this is in the Herbst Woods area...somewhere....

| | Re: Here we go again, again! - Mystery Photo Thread 2 | | Posted on: 3/5/2010 6:26:36 PM | Mike's got it! This is the boundary marker in front of the Iron Brigade's line on Steven's Knoll. I'd like to say how impressed I am with the knowledge of the game's players. My original post was a closeup of the marker, and I thought I had a full shot, but cannot locate. The additional photos show the area it is located and I will post the full location shot tomorrow after I return from the battlefield. I've got plenty of pictures; whether I have plenty of answers remains to be seen. Thanks everyone for letting us (the wife and myself) play.

Think again, the view is from a "road less traveled" (with apologies to Robert Frost)

| | Re: Here we go again, again! - Mystery Photo Thread 2 | | Posted on: 3/7/2010 9:50:43 AM | I guess it's time to give tha answer to this one.
This is a view looking up at the 20th Maine's left flank taken from Chamberlain Ave. Here's the full view with the 20th's monument hiding in the trees on the left and the left flank marker above the large rock on the right. Chamberlain Ave. is (of course) in the foreground.
Ed "civilwarguyincanada" was first with the correct answer, soooo Ed You're up.

And the woods were there then too, but perhaps a little less dense.

By PM I also was "good company" guessing East Conf. Ave. and we were all incorrect, but since this saw action on all three days I'd have to go with Culp's Hill, somewhere near the top. It doesn't look like Slocum Ave. so I'll go with "Williams in the Morning" just to give it a musical theme.
Ed, have fun in Savannah, and if it's close to midnight stay away from the Garden of Good and Evil.

I loved the look of the sun streaking through the mist that morning.
You and Bill both got it!
Over to one of you.
Good job,
