New view of familiar scene

[Deleted]

I've posted several photos from the Nez Perce War battlefield at White Bird in central Idaho. This is my latest variation--taken from a much larger image. I like the simplicity.

Ah yes. I can just make out the Nez Perce coming over the crest of the hill by the tree.
They are going to teach those Johnny-come-lately's a good lesson.

I like it alot.......sends me a message of loneliness and despair.

Thanks Mickey and Bob. There's something about it that really appeals to me, too. Talk about despair. I'm not sure it was the tree shown here--but one almost identical--where a dead soldier was found in a standing position--held up by the branches of the tree.

In fact, there was a book written about this particular battle titled "Forlorn Hope" That's an old military term for a suicide mission.
