Backstory
I love this picture. Adding the sepia tone to the process really makes it seem as if you were at the Battle Above the Clouds—well if you ignore the freeway, business parks, speedboats, and other intrusions of modern Chattanooga. It’s painful to imagine this idyllic site playing host to war, but the cannon reminds us of that inescapable fact.Since much of her family hails from Chattanooga, Suna has many photos of her growing up next to this cannon. A friend’s family once owned much of the land on which the Battle Above the Clouds took place. So the picture has many personal connections beyond the esthetic ones that also draw me to it.
