Lurking in the...

The photo above is my entry to Shadow Shot Sunday. The shadow created in the space 'behind the curve' of this spiral staircase to the top of the tower pictured below. It is called the Wilder Tower. It is a very tall monument/tower located within the Chickamauga/Chattanooga National Military Park. This was the first Civil War Battlefield preserved by the federal govt. Local legend has it that the tower is haunted. No telling what is lurking in the shadows of the tower steps...

Please visit Shadow Shot Sunday for some remarkable shadow photography...

  1. As a war memorial, perhaps ghosts and the like do inhabit the tower. Aside from that, it is quite impressive, produced in a fine stonework. The shadow down the steps ie quite eerie...

  2. It does indeed look as though it might be haunted, and as Ralph has written, as a war memorial it might very well be haunted. It is an incredibly beautiful and impressive building and your photos are terrific! Thanks for a great post for the day!
