Photographs of South Central Kansas I travel the back roads of South Central Kansas looking for that unique subject matter to photograph. Be it a herd of Kansas beef, a herd of Buffalo, or that old barn that stands proud on the Kansas Landscape. The spectacular Kansas Sunsets or the early morning Sunrises, that herd of White tail deer, of the elusive Bald Eagle, it's all here for me to share with you.

Peru XVI:Battle in the Brickyard
WWII Reenacting Corps.
Reliving History
one Battle at a time
The Brick Factory located on Highway 160
Peru Kansas
is the Ideal Setting
for a WWII Reenactment
I arrived just as the solders
were taking a lunch break
so I wondered around taking pictures
and talking to some of the guys
What impressed me most
was the period correct uniforms
and Battle gear.
All of the players from the actual war
were represented,
There were troops dressed as Germans
British, French, American, and other allied troops.
German Motorcycle with side car
As in the real conflict all ages are
represented from young to old
they all had a part.
thank for looking
