a trip back in time

This was taken at Fort Popham in Maine. Can't you just picture men in old uniforms running back and forth? This place just felt different and I hope the picture brings forth that feeling.

I used a Kodak dx6340 digital camera on auto settings. No touch ups or adjustments were made.

Excellent perspective - very well-captured.
Feels very old and full of character.

The cannon galleries of these old brick forts are amazing brick constructions.

I like this image, the DOF really draws me in. Also I find the textures interesting. You did a good job handling the light. Might have tried to tone down that blow out along the bottom right.

Nice echo of the arches Cathrine. Recognized this right a way since I visit / visited this place quite often.

This image certainly captures the intricacies of the stonework in this structure. Not surprised to learn it is an old Fort. Looks massive and indestructible. Love these kind of places.
