Great series!! It must be impressive to watch!!

Thanks Lin.....I am going to frame this one.....

Paulina....thank you so very much....this is the first big reenactment I've ever seen....it was very loud with lots of smoke...I was impressed by the number of actors that took part in this show....over 5,000.....

Foggy...it was extremely realistic....the actors go to great detail in their uniforms...many study a particular solder, unit and battles.....living historians....

Annie...thank you so very much...my daughter bought tickets for herself, my grandson and myself...we had excellent seats to see the whole battle which lasted for more than an hour.....lots of soldiers, lots of gunfire, cannon fire and horses.......

Anna Maria...I've never seen anything like this before...it was so realistic....I couldn't help but think of the tragedy that occurred 150 years ago....I was surprised to hear that the average age of the soldier was 18 years old.....many had never fired a gun before being thrust into battle.......

Soldiers ften still are very young these days, Jake! Such a tragedy.... I wonder if they will ever learn from all these young lives killed because of the ideas of just a few man...

Anna Maria....If history is any measure, I think we are doomed for perpetual conflict of some sort.....I agree...this is so tragic....Why can't we respect each other......

This is one you should 'blow up' and frame. Probably bring top dollar at a gallery.

Larry...thank you so very much...as a matter of fact, Lin printed out this photograph on her 13 x 19 inch printer....and we are going to frame this one......maybe we'll try and sell a few as well........

Back to the past, very impressive!
