Day 185 - Stepping back into Fredericton history

It's fantastic to have guests come to visit us for many reasons, including the fact that we explore our city with them. For example, today for the first time we took in some of the events and exhibits in downtown Fredericton that celebrate the history of the city.

We visited the old guard house and enjoyed an educational tour put on by some of the young people in the top photo. I'm pleased with this photograph, to be honest, because it catches the two women in sort of introspective poses, looking down. I like the columns and the fact that the musician is obscured.

We then moved on to Officers Square to watch the daily changing of the guard ceremony. It's a neat show, with drums and marching and even an inspection of the guard performed by some lucky spectator.

These photographs are interesting more for the content than for anything I did with the camera. The programs are well designed and nicely performed, a worthwhile attraction for any visitor to Fredericton.
