Great pic!
ReplyDeleteIt must be my imagination, but I thought it looks a little spooky from afar. Must be those dark windows. :P
Oh my! What I would give to have the story behind this place. It IS spooky, but I can imagine it in its grander days. It almost looks like it belongs in the English countryside ala Austen.
ReplyDeleteI had the English country estate in mind as well. Do think it would be a bit spooky after dark!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so desolate.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture! I love visiting places like that.

Oh wow, that's a wonderful picture. My mom and I are planning a trip back east next fall...this might have to be a stop!
ReplyDeleteI could use that shot on one of my reviews! Looks like something straight out of historical fiction.
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since I've been to a fort. I've got a couple of awesome pictures while I was there. One of my mom and me in the prison cell area and another of my little brother and me standing on either side of a cannon.
Great photo...loving the perspective of it!!
ReplyDeleteMy dad was a history teacher for almost 40 years. I can't tell you how many of these forts I've been to (maybe even this one--I honestly can't remember!). I have never tired of them.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. Interesting with the wheel just visible in the corner - it sort of balances it out.
ReplyDeleteI love the angle from where this photo is taken!
ReplyDeleteMelody - Thanks, Melody!
ReplyDeleteSandy - I love visiting old buildings like this. Life was so different back then.
Jenclair - I bet it would be spooky after dark too. Imagine what the walls would say if they could talk.
Kathy - I imagine it was far from it back in its day.
CJ - I do too. I always try to imagine what it must have been like all those years ago when it was active and full of people.
Jill - I hope you will get the chance to stop there. It's a beautiful spot.
Jen - I does, doesn't it? It's been a few years since I was last at a fort too. This photo was taken in 2002, I believe, which was our last visit to one.
ReplyDeleteStaci - Thanks, Staci!
Lisa - I've been to a number of forts too--and old missions. Like you, I never tire of them. There's so much history in them.
Myckyee & Alice - There's an even better photo of the fort on the official website, but I like the angle of this one (my husband or I took the photo--I can't remember), with the wheel off to the side like that.
