Classroom

This was a re-enactment of either a traditional or rural classroom where the students are learning the alphabet. The rest of our group had moved on, and the National Guardsman assigned to keep me from getting lost is staring right at me, wanting me to hurry up and catch up.

Great shot of these attentive children - and your rather scary looking guardsman - and love the head gear of the teacher V

Great scene, Helen - I noticed the Guardsman's stare and wondered what that was all about! It is easy to get lost behind the lens!
