Red Everywhere!

When OpSail visited Norfolk last week, the color red was everywhere!  There were red flags, red bicycles, a red train, and children dressed in red, white and blue performing.  It was a feast for the eyes!





 OpSail is an event that happens here occasionally - the last time in 2000.  This time, the theme was the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812.  As you can see, there was a lot going on!

A fun time for sure, great shots. Baltimore is also having what they call the Sailabration for the War of 1812.

Canada is celebrating the War of 1812 too. Many believe the war defined Canada so the anniversary is BIG here.
