Description

Autumn arrives fairly late in eastern Virginia, (USA) and the best fall color is usually at the end of October into early November. On this particular day I captured a busy street scene on Duke of Gloucester Street with lots of tourists and beautiful fall color as well as a lovely open carriage with a team of white horses. I also love all of the flags that appear all along the streets of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia - USA
"Once the capital of colonial Virginia, Colonial Williamsburg is a living history museum, lending stirring insights into its heyday during the 1700s. The centerpiece of Williamsburg's historic district, this territory features winding thoroughfare dotted with charming edifices in evocative Colonial Revival architectural styles. For the better part of the 18th century, the city was the center of the most civilized life in the colony of Virginia. Having undergone a massive restoration, Colonial Williamsburg is today a heartwarming canvas of a culture which eventually made way for the democratic tenor of the country. Today, this antiquated region is permeated with the exuberance and cultural nitty-gritty that comes with glassblowers, blacksmiths, and artisans producing goods by authentic, tried-and-true colonial methods just as they did back then. The period homes, stores, and other buildings are full of interesting things to do and see. There are even costume rentals and historic accommodations which delve deeper into American history."
