Went with the family today to the Fort Ligonier Days festival/reenactment in Ligonier, PA. Fort Ligonier is an accurately re-created copy of a historic fort from the French and Indian War period of American history (www.fortligonier.org). The event is a yearly item and features a battle reenactment and artillery demonstration, plus the whole town has a festival going on as well with food, bands, a parade, antique farm equipment show, crafts, etc. It’s really a nice way to spend a fall day and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Of course, I took the D3 to get some shots of the action, but unfortunately we got a bit lost on the way to the fort, so I couldn’t get in a position in time to get clean shots of the battle, and didn’t want to muscle my way in front of the others who did luck out. Still, I did get a few that I liked, though mostly taken after the battle just walking around the grounds of the fort. Here they are for your pleasure:

Also took this picture of some historic tombstones found in a small cemetary on the way to the fort. The large stone is dated 1873, and I really like the composition and color contrast between the stones and the fall colors of the tree behind them.

That’s it for today. Tomorrow we’re planning on going to Mill Creek Park in OH again to wander around and enjoy the fall colors, plus get pictures of course!
