a 366 photo challenge for 2012 - I have joined the friendly crowd at Elements Village on the web and have decided to start at 'A' and follow the 366 themes daily - I like the idea that I will need to take (or make) images that will stretch my skills and imagination - and if I throw in a few extras just for fun - forgive me - OK? Trying to stay focused for a whole year will be a challenge in itself - wish me luck and come and visit anytime...

February 28 - Costume
This trumpeter wears a previous century's costume to play a part in a re-enactment of history in Florence, whereas for the Swiss Guard at the Vatican in the second image, Renaissance costuming is their 21st century work-wear.
Looks like Day to Day gear to me!lol
