Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia: Birthplace Of The American Revolution

 

Birthplace Of The American Revolution

 

Founded in 1699 as the capital of the British colony of Virginia, Williamsburg would go on to become the cradle of independence for the new American nation.

 

British Colonial Governor's Residence

Governor's Gardens

As the representative of the British Empire, the Governor lived in the most splendid residence in the colony, although it was much smaller than his home back in Britain.

 

Today Colonial Williamsburg is glimpse into the past that is sure to please any visitor. Many of the original homes and other buildings remain and are well preserved. They offer insight into the style of colonial life that must have been good for the upper crust of the time.

 

For those that had to work in the kitchens however, life would have been anything but pleasant.

Around the town, visitor's will find many people in period dress working in the same occupations, using the same tools and methods as would have been used in colonial times.

FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY

 

The definition of a "Fine Art" image is often debated in terms of what is and is not a fine art. Is it abstract, high or low key, selective focus, subject genre or any other number of criteria? I think the term Fine Art is subjective and lies in the mind of the artist and the eye of the beholder.

 

I've created a gallery with some of my contributions to the debate. I hope you enjoy these images of various subject types that exhibit what I consider to be "Fine Art".

BRUGES, BELGUIM

 A wonderful city near the coast of Belgium, that delights the visitor and resident alike with it's many canals and bridges.

 Many of the buildings dating from the 12th to 5th centuries have architectural surprises.

See more of my images from Bruges at here .

After 4 1/2 months on a ship with very expensive and slow internet, it's great to be home where I have easy access to the net. My travels this past time took me from Brazil through the Caribbean, across the Atlantic into to the Mediterranean then up the coasts of Spain and France to Norway. The last 6 weeks was spent in the Baltic region before flying home from Copenhagen.

In the coming weeks I will be posting more of my photography work on my site at www.tommosherphotography.com and more blog posts at www.tommosherphotography.blogspot.com

I hope you will enjoy my photos of some amazing places I encountered and get a taste of what these places are like.
