Dan,
Of course you know that was Lee's family home and lands.
Arlington National Cemetery was established there after/during the
civil war as punishment for Lee,
so it looked out on the war dead.

Yes, Bob, I have been aware of that fact since elementary school.
More recently, I wades through Michael Korda's monumental hagiography

little about him, and those, like me who consider him one of history's
most egregious
I was impressed some years ago when we visited the Mississippi locks
at the Rock Island Arsenal.
On the maps of the waterway was the name of Robert E. Lee - the
surveying officer for the maps.
A blue collar kind of guy from Galena, IL. ultimately got the better
of him in the war.

Thanks, Donald and Ann.I hardly noticed the little vehicle at the

with an equal crop along the right side.
It was a gorgeous day, but no clouds at all. A better day for walking

Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial, formerly named the
Custis-Lee Mansion, is a Greek revival style mansion located in
Arlington, Virginia, USA that was once the home of Confederate General
Robert E. Lee. Taken from Arlington National Cemetery.
Thanks, Mark. I'm not sure how much mojo I have, but for some reason
certain folks seem to want to get their photo taken. Others, not so
much.

Glad you liked this one. Thanks to everyone who commented and looked.

I do like it. There's a lot going on in that background, but the limited DOF
keeps it undefined. The tension created by that abstract business seems
appropriate for the subject, whose condition suggests a certain unease. Then
again, I'm probably over thinking it. Nice photo!

That's a really nice portrait, Frank. You captured the generous spirit

Also, something about him reminds me of John Prine.

Nicely done. A realistic pose that shows some sensitivity and humanity.
Softness and a lack of detail in this kind of shot is a plus.

Beautiful. I love a studio shot that gets a touch of the real. She looks
