Join us for an evening and sunset at the Manassas Battlefield Park. The park offers lots of photographic opportunities that are scattered around the 5000 acre park. We recommend you beginning your tour at one of the several parking lots accessible from Route 29 which runs through the park. Start at either end of the park. In the East, you’ll find the Stone Bridge, and in the West, there’s Battery Heights and Stonewall Memory Gardens including water features.<\/p>\n\n\n

After composing shots from your first late afternoon destination, hop back in your chariot and move on to the next parking lot which might put you near the Groveton Cemetery or the Stone House. If it’s particularly dark or cars are whizzing by with their lights on, head up to the 14th<\/sup> Brooklyn Monument where you can see the road from a hilltop and capture the lights streaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early November in Virginia should be peak Fall foliage season so many of the trees surrounding the park will be well into or slightly past their peak. When you’re done composing subjects around the battlefield, join us for our sunset meet and greet at the Henry Hill Visitor’s Center. Normally, we meetup before we explore, but this time we’re switching it around so we can be together to capture what we hope will be a spectacular sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunrise is at 6:46am EST
Sunset is 4:57pm EST<\/p>\n\n\n\n
