Union Solder’s Coat–B&W

Since I’m on a B&W kick I thought I would post another monochrome image. This is another shot processed with Silver Effects Pro.

This was shot last week at Fort Delaware, which is on Pea Patch Island in the middle of the Delaware River off of Delaware City. It was originally built to protect the entrance to Philadelphia. As evidenced by the number of large gun emplacements. Even though the fort was used to house POWs in WW II it is most noted for it’s use to house POWs during the Civil War.  This scene is a recreation of a union solder’s coat and a woman’s coat (his wife?) hagging next to the door. The scene is lit with available light through the open door.
