This time there were mostly English tourists sitting on the terrace of the restaurant and watching the show.
The soldiers gathered and
prepared their guns
ready to shoot
A terrible noise let people jump from their chairs or drop things, fortunately there was no dog around, I thought I would be deaf, my ears were ringing !
The smoke had covered the soldiers and only slowly disappeared.
It stank terribly ! Fortunately not for too long.
Then they had finished and gathered for a chat, before the next performance one hour later
But meanwhile this maid brought them beer in her basket.
It had been nice to watch, but the real battle must have been terrible !

It is a good way to bring history alive
ReplyDeleteHi Gattina - couldn't agree more - it must have been terrible to live in those days and going to war even worse ... sounds like a good show to see though - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThank goodness we live in modern times! Nice pics.
ReplyDeleteColorful costumes, but I imagine the noise is terrible.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great week!
That is very nice. I would love to see that while dining.

You never think about the sound of the guns. That deafening noise was probably a minor aspect of the war and its horrors.
ReplyDeleteI don't even like fireworks any more. Getting old. I admit it.
