The view is looking north from what is today the Springfield Municipal complex. At the time this image was made in June 1977, the complex was shared by the city and Sangamon County offfices. In the distance is the Horace Mann building. (Scanned from a Kodachrome slide)
I love this Pistol. Well worth the money and I think its the only one that truly give the Glock a run for its title

An example in the building to the right with Gothic arches of the rare "Venetian Gothic" promoted by English arts and architectural critic John Ruskin. Sometimes also called "Ruskinian Gothic". Almost all examples of the rare, short-lived style date from the 1870's.
The Old State Capitol Building served as the capitol of the State of Illinois from 1839 until 1876. Abraham Lincoln spent a great deal of time here as a lawyer. Today it is a State Historic Site and the interior has been reconstructed to it's 1860 appearance.
I ventured over to the reenactment of the Battle of Blood River in Springfield, LA on Sunday. The canons roared, the troops sallied around a stand of hard woods, much period gear was on display. It is always interesting to see people who are as wholly committed to an activity as re-enactors are.
The photos were all processed down to try to emulate something like Civil War era equipment and techniques. As usual, Nik Software's Color Efex Pro and Silver Efex Pro were very helpful in this. Not my usual Sunday, but fun to see.

I've seen this parade from the distance, or in passing for years. This is the first time I stopped to check it out.
