Silhouettes at Dawn...

[Catmendo]

Early this morning I stopped by "Lower Fort Garry", also known as the "Stone Fort" because tis entire outer walls were contructed of three foot thick limestone! Today it is a national treasure and museum and see's in excess of 130,000 visitors each summer. There was a thick blanket of fog covering the landscape which in the end made for some interesting subjects to shoot.

The "stone fort" was built along the banks of the Red River back in 1836. The once great "Hudon's Bay Company" built the fort and was intended to be used as a local fur trading post.

They have some interesting exibits which are located outside the walls of the fort such as an Indian village which was common sight back in the day.

Thanks, glad you liked them. For the record, all images here were captured on Canon's 50D and a 17-40mm L series lens.
