US Military Academy, West Point

I’ve been at West Point this week with my colleagues on a business trip. Walking the campus you get to take in beauty and the majesty of the buildings and have a sense of awe knowing that West Point has played a vital part in American history since the revolutionary war. General George Washington moved his headquarters to West Point in 1779. Over the years many of the greatest military leaders have passed through the halls and campus of West Point. Some notable graduates include: Jefferson Davis class of 1828; Robert E Lee class of 1829; Dwight D. Eisenhower class of 1915; Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin class of 1951. History has yet to be written about the more recent graduates, only time will tell. Attached are a few photos from the campus. Also one is in the HDR (High Dynamic Resolution) format. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the photos.
