This is a corner tower of the old fort at San Juan, Puerto Rico. Although conceived and built for combating invaders from the sea, I thought it was interesting that they nevertheless added a gracefully designed top for the tower complete with finial ball. I guess they figured if you sometimes have to fight for your life you may as well do it in style.

Well done, Ed. You even ordered higher swells on the left, for better balance.

Flawless composition, Ed. Love the colors and the details are fantastic. The textures in the stone are splendid. I can't think of anything I would suggest to improve this shot. Faves for me.
