These were some I took at Kings Landing here in NB, Canada, which is a
recreated village supposed to be set in the 1800's or thereabouts - a
tourist trap kind of thing. I think this guy probably had to teach his oxen
non four-letter commands, or it might upset the tourists :-) The biggest
problem in getting pictures there is trying to frame out all the tourists.
