Fort Gaines, Alabama Travel Pictures
Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island, Alabama played a an important part in the American Civil War, especially in the Battle of Mobile Bay.
Today it still looks out over the bay, but only serves as a reminder of history.

Disney Magic Kingdom, Orlando Florida Pictures
March, 2012 – In Orlando Florida again. Hit Disney World/Magic Kingdom up. Again. Not quite as artistic this time.
Big Thunder Mountain across from Tom Sawyer’s Island
Cinderella’s Castle, with dancing going on in front!
A random sign.
Topiary Mickey and Minnie
And the People Mover. Quite possibly still my favorite ride at Disney. Still rather upset that it’s shut down totally in Anaheim.
Art in Philadelphia
One of the really nice things about Philadelphia is the sheer amount of Public Art scattered all over the city.
This is a statue of Revolutionary era General Tadeusz Kosciuszko from Poland
This statue commemorates General Washington. A couple of the smaller statues are below.
We have this same statue in Portland too.
Valley Forge Pennsylvania
During my recent trip to Philadelphia, I had a bit of time to stop by Valley Forge nearby.
First stop is the reconstructed first redoubt. As the first line of defenses for the camp, it helped protect the rest of the camp from any potential British attacks.
The Maryland 1st stayed in this approximate location. These cabins are a reconstruction of what they built for themselves.
I don’t have much information about when the Covered Bridge was built, but it’s on a fairly busy road. I could not get a picture without a car either entering or on it.
And of course, as it’s a National Park, it’s also a wildlife refuge.
