Nice capture and treatment Mike. That color treatment did take me back in time.

Sury

thank you Sury for your kind comments, photos with military air do not seem to get much comments i find.

hope you are keeping well. mike

It looks like these re-enactors are supposed to be Americans. The guy on the right is holding a .30 caliber M1 carbine. Nice photo!

Nice composition and exposure. Too bad about the modern sunglasses.
What is the baseball bat for?

baseball bat was used to pass time if possible and was used as general club if needed.

Those sunglasses don't look necessarily modern to me. I have seen lots of WWII era photos with military wearing similar ones. Of course, the sunglasses he has on may not be old, just the style.

Gotcha. I missed the glove right next to it.
Thanks,

And a good one too, a fascinating game baseball I used to sit up late watching the games when they were on live here, (go the Braves), I hear they are going to play the opening game of the major league in Sydney this year. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/clayton-ker ... hvgtw.html

I would argue with my fellow Indians that baseball is more difficult than Cricket
and when I enumerate the reasons, their usual defensive position is usually softened.

Yes Sury I agree, I’m always amazed at the speed and accuracy of the throws when there is a base hit and there are a couple of runners, great contest between bat and ball, the only problem for me is some of the more obscure rules and the reason why some things happen…sometimes, that and sometimes what looks like a ball is called a strike and vice versa, there could be something I’m missing about the strike-ball thing maybe, I’m not sure.
I bet it would be almost blasphemy to say anything bad about cricket with any fellow Indians.
