Interesting Jimbob. Even if the structure is not so impressive, the history behind it is. Very nice capture with the blue sky and all the snow around.

Blue skies really make this look good JimboB. It looks like a panorama. Excellent editing gives it a clean, fresh look.

Still intact after all this time. Sure looks fine in its Winter setting. What a first name. Guess his mom thought it was a guarantee. Nice sharp details and nice clarity too.

Hello Jim....It is good to see these old structures being looked after.....The angle of the shot shows how the fort was built up on high ground for obvious reasons and I have to say you have used the light to your advantage....Well done....All the very best to you Jim................Mick.

Excellent centering of the two blocks houses in this photo Jimbob with all the bare trees in the background and the patchy snow and bare ground on the slope in the fore...plus thank you for the history lesson...I give you a A++

Great post in all respects Jimbob.
I especially like the fence shadows.
Your presentation makes this stand out - the frame adds to the overall impact very well.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
