Keeping quiet about all of the treasonous conspiracy talk at her tavern. Colonial Heritage Festival, Orem, Utah. Happy Independence Day!
We made our annual visit to Colonial Williamsburg to see the Christmas decorations.
It was a little different this year because of the pandemic. For one thing, the costumed interpreters were wearing masks.
This is my homage to the Colonial Viper. Here we have....the Mark I, II and VII flying in tight formation!
This is from a commissioned shoot at a local colonial historic site. I was using a monopod the whole time and underexposing by about 2-stops to retain the pre-electric atmosphere that the client wanted. It took me about 30-seconds to set up the scene the way I wanted it and get the shot.
Please do not post notes on the image.

It was built in Old York, Maine in 1745 and served until 1850 when it was replaced by a larger building. It was then sold for $30 and then used as a small house and later a tool shed. In 1935, it was noticed by a lady named Elizabeth Perkins, who was an early advocate of historical preservation in New England. She hired a colonial revival architect to restore it and then opened it for a museum as an example of a colonial era school. It survives today as part of a group of similar museums, including an old jail, as well as Miss Perkins own home which is filled with wonderful antiques. Inside the schoolhouse, you can still see initials and drawings from former students carved into the wooden walls. Some things never change :)
We toured some of these museums and it was a lot of fun, though you are not allowed to take photographs inside them.

Explore: Jul 16, 2008 #336. Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge. "Ah! yes, I remember when in 1927..." A rickshaw! In Cambridge! In 2008! They're a rare thing in the world these days, but have been introduced in Cambridge to deal with tourists who like to get a proper feel of the historic city:-)
The last I encountered a rickshaw was during a trip to India over two decades ago. Here's the opening para from one of my newspaper columns: "Peddling the rickshaw frantically up the bridge across Lucknowās Gomti River, the human skeleton gave up, got off and pushed the three-wheeler until he was over the slope... The two rupees the rickshawallah earned for his torture to support his seven children, wife, parents, in-laws, army of uncles, aunts, their children and childrenās children was hardly āgracious livingā. Catching my eye, he smiled feebly, āJust earning a living, sahibā." (From Daily Times: www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_2-10-2002_pg3_7 .)
Colonial Williamsburg - I was able to go an shoot two rolls of film around the grounds today and took these digital shots while there.

As work was underway on renovations to the Oriental Theater in the '90s, a box inside the old box office was uncovered. Inside it was an envelope containing this photograph, apparently commissioned by the board of the United Masonic Temple, whose new building was to be erected on the site and would contain the Oriental Theater.
This photo shows incredible detail if you zoom in.
Points to note: the Colonial Theater (former Iroquois) is closed in this view. It, the Thompson building to the right (east) and the Soteros Building just to the left (west) are all pending demolition in this scene.
Note the incredibly strange vertical marquee on the Colonial, from 1916, and that it has been stripped of its light bulbs.
The Soteros Building is notable because it very closely mimics the still-extant Delaware Building to its west - in some books, it's erroneously noted that part of the Delaware Building was demolished to build the United Masonic Temple.
Also contrary to a few in-print books and lore, no part of the Iroquois/Colonial was reused in the replacement building.
On extreme right (east) is visible part of the Randolph Theater. The Randolph opened in 1918 and closed in 1933 after being purchased by the Eitel Brothers who remodeled it into the Old Heidelberg restaurant, keeping most of the structure of the theater building intact until its demolition (saving the facade) in the late '90s.
Once the Oriental was completed, the entrances of it and the Randolph were immediately adjacent (the marquees touched each other) and patrons regularly entered the wrong theater by mistake.
The original is now in the archives of the Theater Historical Society.
