Union earthworks below Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia, June 1864.

Shortly after the battle at Kennesaw Mountain, Sherman's Union forces defeated the Confederates in Atlanta, burned the city to the ground, and began his famous march to the sea.

Kennesaw Mountain is now a National Battlefield Park, about a mile from my home.

Incidentally, my great-grandfather fought in the Civil War, joining the Union Army in Pennsylvania. He was a bandmaster. According to my mom, who's done quite a bit of genealogical research, he was recognized as being the youngest bandmaster in the Union Army.

One of my retirement plans is to do a tour of some of these battlefields.

I think it's magic! I struggle keeping level - when it starts going above or below the line I try and correct and send it even further out of synch. Normally takes me a few goes.

Amazed how few blurs you get. I suppose it must be possible to have someone on the start of the shot and have them run round to the end before you have got there. Used to be a standard trick on those big school panorama shots.

If you ever make it to Kennesaw Mountain (or any of the battlefield parks in Georgia), let me know. You're welcome to drop by the house and stay a while.

We'll uncork a bottle of wine, listen to some jazz, and discuss Civil War history. ;)

What a nice offer, HutchFan. It will be a year or so before anything materialises. The next year will be tied up in relocating within Britain.

A different kind of English landscape:

Not quite Babylon...well, maybe in the Rasta sense of the word...

Yes, keeping the horizon line straight can be a challenge. And you do get some odd effects when there is movement in the scene, like the animal and the girls in the left side of this S. Kensington shot.
