This is great, Mary! I love the romance and grandeur of such statutes.

(AND it makes me wonder when breeches will be back in style for men!....)

Mary, I didn't know what the statue was all about, so I did a Wiki check *blush*

I learned something pretty early this morning :P Great information on the American Revolutionary War. Thanks for sharing :)

Virginia? Interesting angle

Jim said...

Very nice. Old New England has so much history recorded in its statues.

Did you know our country/state had a famous hero (I know, a lot do have famous heroes)?

Sam Houston. He was the first President of Texas. You'd better come down and check on us.

Nice statue

Nice photo of the Minuteman statue - "one if by land, two if by sea"

For those of you wondering who the Minutemen were - those men who'd be ready in a minute if the British invaded -- just prior to the Revolutionary War in the U.S.

maryt/theteach said...

Thanks, EG for explaining who the Minutemen were. It takes someone from Canada to explain a period in U.S. history - the Revolutionary War. Ha! :D

Awesome! Wonderful angle and composition!

So he was one of the brave who defeated the Red Coats and gave birth to your great country.

This is a great use of the sky for a backdrop. I really like the photo. The sky is nice but unobtrusive.

This is my first SWF. It is a lot of fun.

Thanks for sharing.

So close and I should've seen that by now. But I will, I must. It's a great statue, isn't it?
