“the regulars are coming, the regulars are coming”
Paul Revere never said “the British are coming, the British are coming”, since he, like all the other colonist considered themselves British. He actually called out - “the regulars are coming”, meaning the regular British Soldiers.
Well this weekend, the regular tourist are coming to Lexington Green, where on April 19th, 1775, the regular British Army met the Militiamen of Lexington and started the American Revolution.
Since it was such a great day in the Boston area, I decided to take a break from painting, get out my bike and head to the Minuteman Bike trail for some much needed exercise.
I found it to be unusually quiet on Lexington Green. I am sure that it will not be that quiet this weekend.
Here is an image that I captured of the statue of Captain John Parker.
I decided to apply the Surreal Edgy Look Lightroom Preset developed by Matt Kloskowski and recently posted on his blog.
Thanks !
