Fort Richardson

[TexasShadow]

I didn't ride the bike, so this isn't a ride report. But I thought I'd share a few photos. Only have a few uploaded (just downloaded the photos an hour ago), but this one is precious.

Was that just before the animal spit at you? :eek2:
yeah, it's cute in the picture but camels are usually pretty bad mannered...

I've never been disappointed in any T-Shadow ride report. I can wait....

















O.K. I waited!

[TexasShadow]

Well, it isn't a 'ride' report in the strict sense. I wasn't on a bike.
since I'm on my way out for another fort visit, on the bike, I have time for only a few photos from FR. I might combine the 2-3 forts later.

The camels were very well-behaved and adapted to human presence and touch. Horses were very well represented, too.

too much photography? ;-)

:lol2:

More later.

Don't worry - we will remind you.

What was the "event" at Ft. Richardson?

[ed29]

It was a re-enactment event.

Cannon were shot, sometimes by a Canon, sometimes by a Sony, and sometimes by pulling their string.

Did you use a filter of any type on this one? The contrast is amazing.

Did you use a filter of any type on this one? The contrast is amazing.polarizing filter. But that's how it looked with the light at that time of day. The lighting and contrast in the sky was magnificent.
