Wonderful capture Great POV

Been there reversal times. Nice photo of the fort.

Nicely done! I love the leading line of the wall, leading to ... well ... more of the wall! It's an outstanding composition.

Tara's right, the compo is wonderful; is that the ocean way beyond, or is this landlocked? I don't know where exactly the fort is located in the state, sorry for my ignorance. Love the weathering on the wall!

I can understand why, the lines and the brick textures combine for a really fascinating composition.

What a great shot, Bill - it just leads you right into the scene! That wall looks like it's been there forever!

Let me in there with a truckload of wisteria and other climbing plants!

Very well built and lasting the test of time Bill. A great shot and a super wall.

Superb capture my friend. God bless.

No surprises that they would really catch my eye too mate.

nice crisp lines. I did have to laugh at DBB's comment about adding wisteria and climbing plants. That would give it a whole new look. :)

Ah, more inspiration from the French fortification expert Vauban. I recall another photo you posted from the same (?) wall. Really cool angles. What's interesting here is the wall is rather low, and all the openings for rifles. In the distance are 2 openings for cannon to fire grape shot along the length of the wall making any attack costly or a total failure despite the low wall. You also give an idea of levels - you've got the house on top inside the fort, and the roof of the buildning below. There's a lot hidden under that slope from the wall upwards to the right. Good job catching so much in one photo! Keep it up! :-)

Nice one Bill great POV you chose for this mate!

Very nice capture.

A Great Wall... Aloha

Walls are always good objects for us photographers, I do like very old ones for example in UK. this one in bricks is perfect done and captured, great POV! good walls are often a military thing, this one still stay - seems to disturbe no one;-)

I like the compo Bill!

Not exactly the Great Wall of China, but an impressive structure in its own right, Bill. Fine depth and lush color in this capture.

The strong and very harsh looking wall may have appeal to some photographers ... but is somehow so sad and lonely looking in appearance - no wonder Andrea would love to beautify it with some vines etc. ;P and I agree with both of you, BB

Looks a good place to visit. X

terrific shape to this

It's a "Vauban" kind of fort.

Exceptional colouring here Bill.. I love you POV.. You've caught it well.. Rob

I've wanted to comment on this since it went up. It's a wall shot, but it has a world above it, and world below it. And both are as mysterious and un-rendering as the wall. By "un-rendering" I mean they don't render up their mysteries. They just 'are'. The wall is long, and your pov makes it cut right through the shot. But it's also very dark, soiled, and veiled in the scars of history. And the left of the wall is a strange stark yard that ends in a heavy wall; and the right---up top---is another strange place, with that fort-house all stoned in, and railings, and another wall back there. A fort, yes, and looking oh-so strange and impenetrable. Your composition allows the place to be bisected---on an angle---so it's kind of aggressive in its strangeness. You captured the mystery and dark secrets of a fort; a really thoughtful and very strong capture, Bill, a very fine shot. (Btw, you said that the fort was "last updated in 1903". Sorry, but I can't get my head out of software: I want to say, they've upgraded to version 10.4 by now---someone send the firmware update, the dvd, something...just a stupid meandering, ignore me. It's late...) ("Sorry, you can't upgrade that fort, the last version was 1936. You'll have to buy a new one...")

Yes, one of the two forts guarding the entrance to Mobile Bay. Fort Morgan is right across the water. Wonderful shot.
