  • This is the kingston lock on the D&R canal.  You can see the lock keeper's house on the right.  On this snowy day, nobody was taking advantage of the picnic tables.  When it gets warmer it's a nice spot for a snack.

  • At the Frontier Museum in Staunton, VA, the walk starts with a wet African home.  This shelf was inside with some typical artifacts.  The roof is made of sticks and yes, those really are natural light beams coming in.

  • This barn is part of the restoration at the Appomattox national monument.  We were there on a very hot day, but the light and surroundings were great.

  • This is the road that the Army of Northern Virginia took to surrender at Appomattox.  I love the quiet peaceful view of the site where a terrible war ended.

  • We were at the Appomattox Court House national park on a very hot September day. This gentleman was the character interpreter for the military governor immediately after the surrender.  I'm scratching my head to remember the Captain's name.  He did a wonderful job in character.  We were advised to ask "may I capture your image" or "please strike a pose" because in the 1860s "may I take your picture" would have been taken to mean I wanted to steal something!

I decided to process this to look like it might have at the time.
