Jamestown, Virginia, USA. Jamestown Settlement, a recreated site a short distance form the original location (Historic Jamestowne), was developed in 1957, to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the settlement founding. Depicting the settlement in 1614, seven years after the founding, it offers a number of interactive and hands-on activities, especially enjoyed by school groups. I enjoyed visiting the archeology site more, and thought some liberties were take-in the interpretations at this site; however, it offered some good photography opportunities. This is the view of the fort from outside the fort wall.

The beautiful weather doesn't display how hard of a life they really had in Jamestown, Thad.
Good shot of the fort.

Wonderful sky that day Thad and the textures in the wood really came out.

I can imagine how it must have been at that time with the original fortifications Thad. Very interesting.

Interesting view and details. I tend to like accuracy, also, but this is a great shot!

I'm trying to absorb all the time spent drilling and pegging those palisade stakes. Has to be seen full size to truly appreciate the scene. Excellent capture, Thad.

Have a safe, productive and happy New Year.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

A great shot of the gardens and palisade wall, Thad. Nice details, colours and textures in the photo.
