Ready for Take-off

This is the gun powder magazine at Fort Anne, Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. Taken during a snow fall, this structure looks for all the world it is about to take-off. Given what is was used for, the design seems appropriate. :smile:

very stark, but I like how the building rises from the snow. The frame looks good to, with its soft edges contrasting against the harder lines of the building.

Very interesting structure. Thanks for the explanation of its function. I would have never guessed! I like the starkness of the image and B&W seems a good fit.

I love the geometry of the image and almost abstract nature of the building suspended in the white/grey surrounds, with only a faint horizon visiblle.

Very cool. I love the way the snow isolates the building.
