    Great catch. I like the sepia treatment as well. The difference between the serious horseman and his seemingly clowning mount is hilarious.

    Sorry, I wasn't thinking

    The Seminole resistance to removal to a reservation brought about the Second Seminole War. It started on December 28,1835, when a column of 107 soldiers led by Major Dade were ambushed by the Seminole warriors at the Dade Battle in Sumter County, Florida.

    It was the first reenactment I had ever been to and it was very interesting learning the history. Seeing it played out added quite a bit to the learning and understanding of what it might have been like at the time.

    Here are a few more images

    Great image, Phil. But I'm having trouble deciding which one is the real crazy horse.....the rider or the horse.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks for the compliments...

    I got lucky on a couple of firing shots. It was difficult with the muskets for sure. Thank goodness for 5 frames a second.

    Howdy Phil,

    Really loved that first image and the following ones as well.

    Great shot on catching the Musket Firing that's a very neat image all around.

    I really liked learning about this also, you really have to admire the Re-enactors and all they go through to keep that part of History alive.
    Take care,
