    Very Nice.

    moving on to the next area of interest - the American Hudson River Fortifications -



    Basically a strategically placed line of artillery and troops kept the British out of Albany by successfully defending the road and the river.

    I like seeing the field of fire in this shot.

    A shot of the British artillery line at the Balcarres redoubt, a position they took at Freeman Farm (Mr. Freeman was a loyalist and so didn't mind too much although he did have to flee later which kind of sucks). They surrendered the fortifications to the Americans and withdrew on October 7, 1777.



    a few more shots are in the Gallery.

    thanks again.
    Last but not least we move to the Great Redoubt, another British fortification they built to defend a hospital, supplies and the boat bridge across the Hudson. This was Burgoyne's final refuge before he fled and eventually surrendered.

    Couldn't help the processing again. The battle took place in fall and so I wanted to ditch the vivid green of high summer. I don't know if it works, but I sort of dig it.

    I might have gone more for a sepia tone myself but I love the composition and perspective in this shot. It really gives me the feeling that the guns position is strong, battle placement wise. I like being able to see the field of fire including the river.

    Yeah, the field of view is important to get the right perspective on these.

    Here's one with sepia, I didn't want the series to become repetitive, so I branched out.

    Thanks. I'm kind of a nut for Revolutionary stuff. I love forts, too. It's a sickness.
