Let's hope Johnny comes marching home again safe and soon.

I agree Bruce. Let's hope all our Johnnys come marching home again soon, but the Johnny of the song was a Confederate, and these are clearly Union soldiers.

Photographically, however, you caught a great angle, nicely framed by the tree and the shadows.

I couldn't help myself Hank -- I have always been a rebel! You have been making me dizzy with your ping-ponging back and forth between Arizona and NJ -- but thanks for the history of early American industrialization.

Thank you for the nice comment Makis.

Quite a shot Bruce! Celebration? Are these people re-living American history? Cheers, Dick

Bruce MacIver, on June 29, said:

It was a '4th of July' celebration Dick, and these folks are US civil war reenactors -- although amateurs, they do a very good job of wearing period clothes, with real weapons and equipment. I pulled the color saturation down to give the picture an old looking character.

Thanks for visiting again!

Like the coloring you did on this historic scene. The tree gives it an authentic touch. Hope your Johnnies will come home safe from Irak too.

Cheers, Ted
