Williamsburg is actually famous for being a pretty big part of our nations founding. Many of the founding fathers were from there and argued in the House of Burgess, disagreeing with the continually rising taxes from the English Crown (funny in 200 plus years we still get too much taxes from a government who does not listen to its governed) and the Bill of Rights in our constitution was heavily derived from a "Virgina" Bill of Rights written there. It is a neat historic city and you are correct in that it is a "living history" type of place. I really did not think about making them B&W or warm tone B&W for effect...I may try that on some of them, thanks for the idea.
