Personal note

It was a great opportunity to make photos from a Harley motorbike because the driver -a friend of mine- gave me the opportunity to do so.

I had just one regret: the absence in the organization of MPs regulating traffic could have prevented me from making photos of each participating vehicle but fortunately I was saved by the Harley!

It was extremely difficult to make photos during the re-enactment event because it was organized in the darkness (at 8.00 PM). However it was the opportunity to meet friends from a few re-enactment groups.

I was supposed to be a spectator but I was enrolled in the show among the US Jeeps liberating the city!
