He he superb capture my friend. Must say this view is more to my liking then Tara's view not meaning that their is anything wrong with Tara's capabilities. In fact you both take amazingpictures that i enjoy tremendously. God Bless.

Good one. You had a great view mate.

Great and unusual to see pics from both ways like this. You may have started a trend Bill!!

You caught her catching you!!

Nice shot Bill I love looking around places like this.. :-)

Wow ... you had a great view from up there! I wish we'd had more time. (How often do we say that?) But really ... I wasn't willing to hike up there two days in a row, and there's no point in hanging around in the dark! :P

fascinating site

Very interesting place!!

Thanks for posting this, Bill. I see Tara used a telephoto while you went for a wide angle to get the whole into one photo. This really gives a good view of a single platform. The entrance to the underground ammo storage looks interesting. Were the doors shut, or could you go in and take some photos? If so, could you post one? What surprises me is the wastefulness. First building this complex, then abandoning it. The guns could have been replaced by even bigger, more long range guns. And could be used for missile defences today. But, it reminds me of the "Gig guns at the Golden Gate" (book by Brian Chin) wherein the 16 inch battleship guns in the forts surrounding the Golden Gate to protect San Francisco Bay were cut up and sold for scrap after WW II as it was "too expensive" to remove and store them. A gun like that takes over 1 year to manufacture at great cost. But no thought was given to THAT expense! Thanks for the great overview. Its a great reference for anyone who wants to build a model of a good gun emplacement. Keep up the good work! :-)

What a great place for an open air theatre! A production of Titus Andronicus, maybe.

To cool I best get on over and check Taras side out now lol

Just goes to show have quickly things become obsolete. Great image Bill, lovely to see it's lasted this long :)

Great capture of Tara capturing you beautiful area

what a contrast between yours and tara's shot, Bill. In my original comment to tara (lost but replaced) I said that you seemed to be in a WWII fortress. Well I was off by a war, but I still had the right idea. In her shot---which I liked for the shot as much as for the fun of seeing you inside it---we saw the massivity of the walls and how dark it looked inside. Here, it's like a mini Roman Coliseum, with a kind of a round shape, and grasses growing into the stones (as they do in the Roman ruins in Europe). The shot has real sweep. It's really beautiful Bill, I mean it's great to see you two photographing each other---that part of it is lots of fun---but the shots themselves have been fine. And this one feels like you two found an ancient ruin and just ran roughshod through it, with no one to interfere...Wonderful work. And sweeping too.

You both did an amazing job - synchronising with each other in different POV's and created something very special, a love story ... When I visited Germany in 1999, I also made a trip to Goerlitz (Mr. Hitler's bunker) and somehow this reminds me of the 'Wolfsschanze FHQ'! BB

Wow! There nothing like taking a picture of someone taking your picture. Nice shot Bill.

Hehe... I like how you two do that! Wonderful place - must have been glorious in its days!

Hehe! look at that lady there pointing up at you whilst you point down on her, great idea, I recall honey and I doing something similar a few years back. You know this would have made a great HDR bud.

SO that is the view you had from up there :-D Awesome shot and fun too :)

Wonderful capture of Tara shooting You as You shoot Her!!!

great shot

very lovely looking

It looks like a great place to explore; I think I like it better decommissioned, without weaponry!

And what a commanding view from your camera-sniper's perch! This is super, Bill! It really gives us a great view of this section. And of course it's always fun to see Tara busy getting her shots! I've gotta get up there sometime..... It would be great to see you two, and I could shoot the bejeebers out of this place...

The reverse view! lol A super idea to do this.. Good fun.. Well shot, shows the size of the place as well.. Rob

All that concrete. What were they worried about? The Germans coming through the Northwest Passage and attack Seattle? Great capture Bill, this also answers my question to Tara about you taking the picture from the 'camera blind'.

Nice picture!!

I have always enjoyed exploring such. outstanding capture

Who Got Who? Fun shots. Aloha

Love thes old forts. they are all along the three coasts. Ya just gotta look. Hey to Tara!
