More than 86,000 veterans, going back to the Civil War, are interred there.

Impressive array of guns! There's a big one of these parked in front of a bank on my way to work, don't know why...maybe we're expecting trouble? Nice captures!

I like the second and the last best. A great deal of irony in canons guarding the military dead. Kind of like Cardasians guarding the graveyards of Bajorans. (A useless comparison if you are not a Star Trek DS9 fan, but the best I could think of.) Great shots!

some very nice shots of the sleekness & lines & suppleness of these big monsters. I didn't realize till now how supple they could be, or how lean. The wheels are less cumbersome than I thought, and—I assume—made of wood. Obviously you'd want them to be supple so you could move them quickly in battle, but they really do have a sleekness to them. Nice alternating angles too. Very nice work Harry.

I saw these up close at the Civil War Re-enactment I attended a few years ago. Amazing little powerhouses on wheels. Simply made and functional. These are wonderful shots showing their beauty from all angles. I stare and say WOW... and even oh GEEE... Does that make one of those Cannon in G? (groan... sorry.) Well done, Harry!
