Confederate Cannon

At this battlefield, the main visitor's areas are on the confederate side. Most of the union trenches are just along the roadside. Here are some of the confederate cannon. Taken 10/9/06

More Spottsylvania Courthouse

Spottsylvania Courthouse

Earlier this week I went to the Spottsylvania Courthouse Battlefield. (Thats the Civil War for the historically illiterate.) Taken 10/9/2006.

Rainy Day

The other day it was raining and I was bored, so I sat at my desk and took some pictures. Yes, I didn't even have to move to take these pictures. That is why they are so good. Taken, 10/2/06.

The Lieutenantmobile

Here, as long awaited, is my car--with a Jeremiah Friedman reference, and a reference to my own work. Taken 10/1/06.

PT! Oh YEAH!

Here is my first attempt at photographing people, something which I obviously need work on. These were taken at the Hyattsville, Md OSO's office candidate picnic. We ran a PFT, played some games, and ate some food. I think part of my problem with photographing people is that I need a longer lens (blame the equipment--always a good move). Taken 9/30/06.

More Junk and Miscellany

Here is some garbage found on the trails. This is also the Marine Corps version of a "water buffalo" and a picture of a rope obstacle I couldn't fit thematically anywhere else. Taken today, 9/26/06.

Water and Mushrooms

Here are some water obstacles. No, candidates do not walk on the boards, they crawl through the mud and wade through the water. The mushrooms were nearby, sorry they don't fit thematically. Taken today, 9/26/06.

Webs of All Sorts

Here is some barbed wire (Crawl under it, not over it), some spiders webs, and rope bridges. Taken today, 9/26/06.

Misc

Here are some miscelaneous images from around OCS. They include the tarzan course, some junk (of course), the land nav "boxes" which you have to find--easy in the day or with moonlight, very hard without. I'm also trying larger images; with my camera I can take over 150 3456x2402 images, much bigger than you (or I) need, but you might want bigger than 600x400. These were taken today, 9/26/06.

UPDATE: So the images are 600x400... deal with it.

Textures

Here are some neat textures that I found around the trails. These were all taken today, 9/26/06.
