Bull Run 1: McLean Farm

On July 27 1861, this farm house belonged to William McLean. The first Battle of Bull Run was fought on his property. Seeking to avoid further conflict, he moved his family far from Washington D.C. to Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia. Almost exactly four years later, Lee and Grant met in the parlor of Mr. McLean's house in Appomattox Courthouse to sign Lee's surrender.

Getty 5: Patience

I am fortunate that my brother, who lives in Los Angeles and took me to the Getty Center, is a very patient tour guide. However, perhaps you will notice the camera strap over his shoulder - he is the more accomplished photographer of us two.

Looking down in the valley on the 405 freeway, inexplicably stopped at noon on a Saturday. Made me glad I was up on one of the hilltops instead of down there bumper to bumper with people.
