In days of old when knights were bold


In April, I attended my very first historical reenactment festival. 'Iron Fest' was held in Lithgow a small town west of Sydney. The enthusiasm of the participants was infectious.

    Julie, did you say you'd be somewhere in France soon? Do let me know (but I'll be away until the end of the first week of October).

  22. Julie, this is just cool - great reflection shot. And I bet the festival was a hoot. (I thought you were going to Paris?)

  28. What a great shot. If I had gone to Ironfest I am sure I would not have spotted this, there is just something about your ability to see these types of things.

  29. Thanks for your comment :-)
    Wonderful, specially I love the last picture.
    Also I remember when I as a child running through the stubble, crawled up on the stack og straw and jumped down.
