This bridge is one of the most recognizable battlefield structures of the American Civil War. I wanted to do a little something different with it and a number of years ago photographed it through a pinhole. This is fun photography!

These photos were taken in May of 1970 in Harpers Ferry, WV. This horse drawn hearse was in the back yard of a house neighboring the National Park there. I made inquires of the Park Service a few years ago about the hearse and they have no records that if ever belonged to them.
