What a great park, and with a lot of interesting history. It's hard to conceive just how violent that battle must have been, it was up close and personal unlike today where you bomb them or shoot them with a sniper one mile away.
Beautiful pictures, I know what you mean that the images just don't do justice to the real place. Glad the root canal went well, I understand you're trepidation with the dentist as well!
times sure have changed, when I visited this spot just came across it by chance, I thought such a beautiful spot never imagines its history
