Corner at Fort Point


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Corner at Fort Point
Corner at Fort Point
From the National Park Service website:
Fort Point has stood guard at the narrows of the Golden Gate for over 150 years. The Fort has been called "the pride of the Pacific," "the Gibraltar of the West Coast," and "one of the most perfect models of masonry in America." When construction began during the height of the California Gold Rush, Fort Point was planned as the most formidable deterrence America could offer to a naval attack on California. Although its guns never fired a shot in anger, the "Fort at Fort Point" as it was originally named has witnessed Civil War, obsolescence, earthquake, bridge construction, reuse for World War II, and preservation as a National Historic Site.

David M. Montero 		  Wonderful POV and light. FYI, the anchorage of the Golden Gate Bridge behind the fort was designed to preserve the fort. Love the shot Terry!

Terry A. Stoa 		  Thanks for looking and for your remarks Nikki, Chris, Joy, Dave, and Leslie. Nikki - I didn't even think of the leading line aspect until you mentioned it. I don't think it's an unconscious thing yet - just dumb luck.

Terry A. Stoa 		  Thanks, Carol - there are times when it's either HDR or a poorly exposed image.
