Last week Larry (one of the other OR professors) told us something soon would be happening in Williamsburg (finally). Today was the day.
This event is called the "Grand Illumination".
Some famous buildings in Colonial Williamsburg are introduced by a speaker, after which a firing squad fires their guns towards that particular house.
This house actually has occupants who were looking out the window. The gunmen got the order not to shoot at the windows --- surprisingly I am not joking.
That is actually the reason that the guy in front is shooting a little to the right in the picture below.
And then...
... the moment supreme.
Boom.
Ladies and gentlemen...
... THIS is Colonial Williamsburg.
