Although it was a little cool, Sunday morning and early afternoon was a pretty good day weather-wise. Clouds were moving in from the west for some showers expected later this week. The Gettysburg Daily decided to use this fairly clear day while the leaves were still not on the trees to take photographs from on top of the Culp’s Hill Observation Tower.
