A few (more) photos
Aug. 9th, 2005 03:20 pmMy father and I
went out to the old french fortress of louisburg
over the weekend
and of course
I snapped some shots
now technically, this is the new old fort
because it has been reconstructed
[mostly using original materials]
and they have a crew of folks
dressed in period costumes
who will tell you about their lives
which is interesting
especially since they are studiously coached
to be ignorant of any technology invented
since their period
so its kinda like a timewarp but, umm, not
but definitely worth a visit
and a good time

Fishing Sloop and White Flag
[is there nothing more appropriate to the period]
[and/or history in than a french fort flying a white flag?]
[I think not]

Outside corner over looking the moat

Fortifications

Passage

Flintlock firing

Ignition

Fire

The Lighthouse at Louisburg, built if my recollection is correct in 1923

End of the Day
