Today I went to Cantigny to shoot Fall color before the first freeze. When I got there I realized it was Constitution Day. Admission was free and I was given a book of the U.S. Constitution. Once inside I realized there was a Special Naturalization Ceremony. I stayed for the ceremony and took a few photos. It was a wonderful experience to see so many people from different countries become citizens. A fantastic day with unexpected emotions.

Hurra for 17. mai! Today we celebrate the signing of the Norwegian constitution in 1814 in Eidsvoll, which lead the way to full independence in 1905. No military parades here though.
