This shot was taken at Mount Vernon on July 18, 2008. I accompanied a group of Caedesians on a trip to Washington, D.C. This photo was taken on the front porch of the mansion.

I like the symmetry of the chairs and the graceful curves of the backs of them. The ladies are a bit mysterious with their big straw hats.
This does remind me of something I would see in the 18th century. Good eye for composition.
Welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay :)

Very nice. I like the way the chairs and the pillars line up. Great colors, too.

This is so nice..I remember that Hilda wanted to find someone in dress to take a pic of..I know that she will love this one.

Nice job, my friend, and welcome to Caedes.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

What a great eye! I love the angle you got this one from. And PJ is right, I'm so glad you got them in the period clothing. Hope to see more from our trip, too! Welcome to Caedes!

Good photo Aaron and I like the angle you chose. You seem to have caught them in a very poignant moment. Photo is not intrusive. Great first post. Nice to hear you were with the Caedes crew in DC. That must have been educational and entertaining.

Good composition and detail. The round brims mimic the curve and flow of the chairs. Good eye. Welcome to Caedes.
