Anyone know why the trees at Antietam Dunker's Church appear to have shrunk? Or is that just a trick of the lens? I find the trees to be the most interesting part of these comparisons. The Brompton oak is beautiful.

I'm not sure when the programs started, but I know a lot of the battlefields have been intentionally restoring tree lines to their original appearance at many of the battlefields - although this is of course going to be a decades-long process.
