English: The Gettysburg Battlefield was the site of the Battle of Gettysburg, fought July 1 to July 3, 1863, in and around the borough of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the county seat of Adams County, which had approximately 2,400 residents at the time. It is now the site of two historic landmarks: Gettysburg National Military Park and the Gettysburg National Cemetery. Several of the monuments were created by noted sculptors and artists, including Caspar Buberl, James E. Kelly, Lee Lawrie, Randolph Rogers, Cyrus Edwin Dallin, Samuel Murray, Edward Potter, John Quincy Adams Ward, Gutzon Borglum and Donald De Lue.
A large rock arrangement, almost similar to something from Stonehenge, with one long, sizable rock sitting across on top of a tall, narrow rock and a smaller, more round rock that's on top of another, off the ground. They are all large, heavy appearing boulders that appear somewhat like marble, in their smooth, falsely cracked texture. The backdrop is mostly tall grass & wildflower plants, with a couple small and medium trees just in front of a treeline, and more rocks scattered about in the grass. The foreground are far larger rocks all laying flat, leading downhill that are difficult to climb on, but worth it for the view. It is a grey, dreary day with intermittent mild, misty rain.
Unique rock arrangement near the base of Little Round Top, leading into the valley.
